Bartending Tips 1 - Drink responsibly when you are enjoying a drink. Don't drink if you are under the age of 21, and most importantly don't drive if you drink.

Bartending Tips 2 - If you are serving as the bartender for the evening, know when to cut someone off who has had too much to drink, and don't be afraid to do this.

Bartending Tips 3 - When building a drink for someone, make sure to use the proper kind of ice for the type of drink. Ice cubes will melt slowly and have less chance of diluting the drink. Crushed ice works best in drinks that are prepared in a blender because they break up easier. If you are mixing a frozen drink, such as a margarita or a daquiri, shaved ice will probably work best.

Bartending Tips 4 - In addition to serving drinks with the proper ice, pre-chilling the glass, either by leaving glasses in the freezer or sitting in shaved ice, will help keep drinks colder for longer periods of time.

Bartending Tips 5 - If you are mixing a drink that uses a carbonated beverage, there is no need to shake or stir the drink once it has been completed. You will lose the carbonation if you attempt to mix it once the carbonated beverage has been added.
