Dick Lange, a Portland bartending academy, was founded in 2008 and allows students to learn at their own pace. Experiential bartenders will teach students how to make cocktails, serve drinks at tables, and manage service.

The school, which is located in a warehouse close to downtown Portland, has a mix of classes and on-the job training. The school's instructors teach students the basics of mixing cocktails, and then they work in one of 30 professional bar stations to practice their skills.

In some cases, the minimum age is based on the type of alcohol being served. Some states, for example, have a minimum of 21 years to serve beer. Other states, however, have a minimum of 24 years to serve wine.

This drink is named after the fact that it was originally made without any ice. The original recipe called for just whiskey, sugar, and bitters.

A Manhattan is also an option. Another great option is the Manhattan. It's basically a version of the Old Fashioned. You use rye whiskey instead of bourbon. Instead of sugar, you use sweet Vermouth.

Bartenders love this recipe because it is simple to make and tastes great.

The best way to start drinking is by ordering a beer. If you're unsure what kind of beer to order, ask the bartender what they recommend.

Wine is best enjoyed as a dry white wine. You might prefer reds so you should try light-bodied Merlot or Pinot Noir. For cocktails, choose a martini or margarita.

Remember, if you don't know what to order, just say, "I'm starting off small," and the bartender should be happy to help.
