Upon being given a cocktail mix by Penny, Leonard in the hit TV series The Big Bang Theory retorts: "... this drink is a wonderful example of how liquids with different specific gravities interact in a cylindrical container."
Leonard is right and by extension, bartending is indeed more than mere mixing of fluids, it is science in itself. And more than just being a science, it is also an art, where the creativity of the bartender is tested as he combines fluids to create a unique tasting experience.
I love bartending and have been doing so since 2009, starting out with friends as we hang out in my house during weekends. It's a great feeling actually to be able to play around with various fluids and consistencies, colors and flavors, aromas and viscosities. Even more than being a science and an art, bartending is a social experience really, a way for a bartender to relate with the world in the magic of the glass he fills with his concoction.
There is for a me a special quality of bartending, that it is creating a new meaning to the world in the delicate flavors created and projecting an experience of fun, excitement and awe to the drinking customers. Truly, a bartender is a philosopher of the glass interpreting what beauty is through the language of the tongue.
