The professional bartending textbooks features what we believe are "America's 50 Most Popular Drinks". With these basic recipes, you can make practically any combination and number of drinks that are simply slight variations of the basic cocktail. Once you know the basic drink and preparation method, it's very simple to change one ingredient and have a different drink.
In our schools, we focus on teaching our graduates how make the basic drinks properly from memory. We don't think it's necessary to try to teach over 300 different drinks (many of which are outdated and seldom, if ever ordered) in a short one or two week course. We want our bartenders to be able to make the often-ordered drinks quickly, without looking them up in a "drink rolodex" or "flash cards".
