seriously.. don’t fret. If you have the recipes on a card, it will take 2 seconds to look at them and figure out what you are making. I remember when I first started bartending I was terrified of not knowing how to make things. But, the truth is, people in general don’t really care if they have to wait a little longer, or if you don’t know what they want you to make. You’ll be just fine! Promise!

it will come in time. let me know when you start dreaming that you are making drinks. that was one of the perils of getting my latest job. all i could see was a computer screen in my dreams, but I couldn’t open any windows or info, and the cardholder was yelling at me about how incompetent I was. it was scary. jolted me awake more than once.
you could also use a trick that a bartending friend of mine told me: if the person is watching you make the drink, pour in less than you should, give them a wink, then pour in the rest. this will cause them to think that you are giving them more liquor than other people, and maybe cause them to tip better.
good luck Friend!
