Anyone who drinks alcohol in Wisconsin must have a bartending license. This includes anyone working in a restaurant or bar. Whether you're new to the industry or a seasoned pro, you can get your Wisconsin bartending license quickly and easily by taking an approved course.
The Wisconsin Bartending License (also known by an Operator's License), is the primary tool used by the State of Wisconsin to regulate and control alcohol consumption in bars, restaurants, and other businesses that offer alcoholic beverages. It is also the best way to earn a decent salary as a bartender.
To apply for a Wisconsin bartending license, you must be at least 18 years old, meet criminal record requirements and have completed an approved responsible beverage server training course. Find a list on the Wisconsin Responsible Serving website. Or contact them directly to find out more.

How to get your Wisconsin Bartending License
You can apply for your Wisconsin bartending license by submitting an application and supporting documents to the city clerk's office in the municipality where you want to work or own a business. The city clerk will determine your eligibility and issue your license if all requirements are met.
Wisconsin bartender licences aren't all you need to serve alcohol in licensed establishments. So it's important that you know the laws in your area before you start serving. In addition, you should be aware of the closing hour law, which requires that alcoholic drinks be discarded after certain hours.
The closing hours of a licensed premise must be posted in the front window or displayed on the premises' entrance. This law, which is enforced by law enforcement authorities and regulated in Wisconsin, is subject to the State's regulation.
You can help reduce underage drinking if you have a sign at your bar that lists the age of any patrons allowed to consume alcohol in your establishment. If you are under 21, you can request proof of age. This includes a photo ID showing the parent or guardian.

This can reduce the chance of underage drinking, and staff will be able to enforce the closing hours. You can also reduce your liquor liability insurance costs, which can protect your bottom line.

Why it's important to become a Wisconsin bartender
Alcohol servers are an integral part of public safety in Wisconsin. They are trained to refuse to serve patrons who are intoxicated safely. This is a way to ensure that people don't drive home drunk or cause accident.
FAQ
What is the most popular mixed drink?
The most popular mixed drinks are often based on alcohol and caffeine. This means they can contain both stimulants or depressants.
Alcohol stimulates our central nervous system. This makes us more energetic. Caffeine helps you focus and increases your energy. They both have similar benefits so many people combine them.
There are many other reasons we enjoy drinking cocktails. They are popular for relaxing purposes, while others enjoy them after a long day.
No matter what your reason, these are three fantastic cocktail recipes you can create.
-
A classic Gin Martini
-
A vodka cranberry
-
A cup of Irish coffee
What is the difference between a martini and a Manhattan?
A martini can be made by adding gin or vermouth to gin. To make a Manhattan, you add whiskey to sweet vermouth. Both drinks can be served chilled.
What are good mixed drinks to order at a bar?
An Old Fashioned is something I recommend. It's a classic cocktail with bourbon whiskey, sugar syrup, bitters, and water.
This drink's name is a result of the fact that it was first served without ice. The original recipe only called for whiskey, sugar, or bitters.
People started to add ice to the mixture and they added "Old-Fashioned", to the title, because they thought the old-fashioned version tasted more delicious.
A Manhattan is also an option. Another option is the Manhattan. It's basically a variation on the Old Fashioned. Instead of using Bourbon, you can use Rye Whiskey. You also use sweet vermouth instead of sugar.
Because it's simple to prepare, this is a favorite choice of bartenders.
There are many kinds of liquors.
There are hundreds to choose from when it comes to liquor. Some of these are distilled spirits (such as vodka, rum, tequila, and bourbon), while others are flavored liquors (such as amaretto, and apricot brandy). There are also cordials, liqueurs and fruit wines.

- You can simply follow the rule of thumb: $1/beer or wine, $2/ cocktail, and 10-20% for large tabs. (alembicbar.com)
- The tequila should be 100 percent agave, not the cheaper “mixto” products, which blend a minimum of 51 percent agave with other sugars. (cooking.nytimes.com)
- American blended whiskeys are so inexpensive because they only have to contain 20 percent whiskey; the rest can be made up of neutral grain spirits, colorings, and flavorings. (mashed.com)

How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step in creating any cocktail recipe. We're using Cognac to make this drink. It is a French spirit made from fermented grapes. You'll often see it aged for a while in oak barrels. You can buy cognac online at Amazon.com or specialty liquor stores.
Next, we'll make simple syrup. Simple syrup is simply sugar that has been dissolved in water. Let's melt 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves (about five minutes). Add enough cold tapwater to fully cover the sugar by 2" Allow to rest overnight. Strain out the sugar crystals through cheesecloth and discard them. The liquid can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
We're going to mix Cognac and simple maple syrup together for our Brandy Alexander cocktail. In a shaker, add the Cognac and half of the ice cubes. Pour the Cognac into a shaker and top it with simple syrup. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Mix in a splash soda water to finish the Brandy Alexander. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
