mixologist

English

Etymology

mix +‎ -ologist

Noun

mixologist (plural mixologists)

1. (humorous) A person who creates cocktails; a bartender. [from 1856]
   • 1999, Bob Emmons, The Book of Gins and Vodkas: A Complete Guide, p. 63.

     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.
