I thought I had alot to say about this....but Rumrunner beat me to it. Get a 
decent bartending book. (bartending for dummies..not too bad) Usually these 
books have a section based on the "classic" drinks...Those are good to know. 

Also, as Rumrunner mentioned, some drinks are up and down with trends. Some 
drinks are more popular by region. You will eventually find out which drinks 
you need to know, and which ones don't come up very often. 

One thing about bartending in a busy club environment. You definitly have an 
opportunity to learn, and yes the customers are a bit more forgiving if you 
make mistakes etc....However, be careful not to pick up to many bad habits. I 
learned to bartend at a place that was busy from start to finish....constantly 
slammed.....this made me fast, but I did develop some bad habits. This can 
make it hard to get a job (keep a job) at a slower paced, more classy 
establishment.

you got the stain out of your dress....
