Begin as a bar back
Get solid experience as a bartendar
Register for local competitions
Advance to bar or food & beverage manager
Research local distribution companies for positions in mixology

Practice makes perfect! Start with a class, use bottles with food coloring to improve your pouring ability, work on your palette so you understand the way the taste of things work together (food and non-alcoholic beverages work if you are underage). You need to better identify the demographic you are after before you decide on an area. If your establishment is focused on low-cost, high volume, no frills- a college town might be the best place. If you plan to create an upscale atmosphere, you may want to try a more affluent area. Don't open the wrong kind of bar in the right kind of place! Good luck!
