Is there a difference between a Bartender and a Mixologist?
Per DR Mixologist, Darryl Robinson, "Since “Mixology” is a common term that has been growing in recent years, the distinction between Bartender and Mixologist has come up for debate among many in the industry. Naturally, this happens since the definition of Mixologist suggests more skill and refinement. However, what’s most important to understand is that the two titles can often be interchanged and each offer a different set of skills.
Generally speaking, a Bartender is a quick thinker, has an understanding of traditional and popular cocktails and can serve many people at once. Whereas a Mixologist is known to hone the craft by focusing more on the art and mixing of cocktails – designing signature cocktails and putting a twist on old favorites. Although some duties are the same, a Mixologist is extremely knowledgeable about the composition of recipes, but pushes the limits of traditional bartending with unique and flavorful combinations in each cocktail creation."
Note: Often referred to as “DR Mixologist”, Darryl Robinson is recognized for his unique and flavorful combinations in each and every one of his cocktail creations. He developed his extraordinary techniques and honed the craft of mixology tending bar at a number of great establishments.
