You'd be surprised at how many recipes most good bartenders know.  And to be 
fair, it's more like "thousands and thousands" of recipes out there.  I've 
been working for less than a year in this industry, and my cocktail knowledge, 
which undoubtedly pales in comparison with many here, is already at the 
"couple hundred" mark, and I learn new drinks (well, new shots mainly) with 
some frequency.
