There's no denying that bartending is one of the coolest jobs ever! Of course, most of can't get ourselves to even make a good cocktail, forget bartending! But is the job really that difficult? We got the ambassador of ABSOLUT Beverages, Björn Olsson to tell us the tricks of making a good cocktail and what it takes for a woman to be a bartender.

Tricks for a Good Cocktail

1) Combine flavours
Wish to impress your friends with your cocktail-making abilities? The first key is to use combining flavours. Olsson says, "Use combining flavours and ensure you maintain a balance between the sweet and sour taste."

2) Experiment
He also stresses the importance of trying out different things. "Don't be afraid to try. The best part about cocktail-making is the variety of combinations you can use and the new drinks you can come up with. Creativity makes exceptional cocktails," he says.

3) Use fresh products
According to Olsson, you're never going to get that perfect cocktail unless you use fresh and good product. In case you are using fruits, use the fresh and ripe ones. Also, ensure that the alcohols you use are of good quality. Lack of good products is only a waste of effort while trying to make a good cocktail!

Latest Cocktail Trends
"Everyone today is using good and genuine products," says Olsson. Today the art of cocktail-making is so popular that using poor products is something no one resorts to.

Another trend as per Olsson is the return of the old classics along with a new modern twist. People are using their tricks and ideas to bring out combinations that are great! The use of different herbs and shrubs in a drink only add to its unique character.

Tips to correct a cocktail
Practice makes a man perfect. Don't expect to make the finest cocktail at the first try. However there are a few tips to correct a cocktail. "The trick is to maintain a good balance of sweetness and sourness. If it's too sweet, add lemon to correct it. In case it is too sour, use sugar to sweeten it," says Olsson 
 
Planning to be a bartender?
"I think anyone who wants to be a bartender should first be well versed with what's in a bottle," says Olsson. Don't confuse yourself between gin and vodka; you never know what you'll end up making! Acquaint yourself with the drinks well.

Also, ensure you create a welcoming atmosphere for the guests.

"In Sweden it was found that women bartenders were better at garnishing the drinks. I think it's always great if a woman wants to become a bartender. In fact when a woman and man bartend together, it's always profitable as there are always loads of consumer," says Olsson.
