Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how mixologist appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
By the way, the difference between a bartender and a mixologist can be confusing, but normally a bartender serves the patrons at a sit-down style bar, where a mixologist would usually work at a very busy service-style bar.
But now we see a split in the mixed-drink community. On one hand, cool bars and star mixologists are lauded and awarded as never before. On the other, booze brands are rushing to develop pre-mixed beverages for a burgeoning Ready to Drink (RTD) market.
Etymology
From mix + -ologist.
