Any good bartender over they're career will write his/her own recipes and keep them over the years as well as supplementing with books (Playboy makes a great bartenders guide), and Internet recipes of the same drink. If you are unsure at all ask the customer, they usually know what is in their drinks or at least how they like them made. A good example of this is any drink that has more than one type of liquor in it: Sex on the beach, Harvey Wall banger, Moheeto, Hurricane, Long Island Ice Teas and more commonly a Martini. There is several ways to make martinis. Be versatile, up to date on drinks as well as being a little business savy and you can make a great deal of money. Good luck!

A professional bartender keeps up with the latest in Guides and Drinks. Food and Beverage Suppliers have great booklets that they give away for free. And Internet Access is the best.

Some people call hand grenades Pearl Harbors. So you'll have to deal with the lingo issues. It couldn’t hurt, but not all people use the same name for the same drink.
