1st, you'll need training on how to make drinks. You could experiment at home and watch video or pay for Bartending School which would have job placement.
Unless, you'll be working in a busy club, the interpersonal skills will be important. You'll need to engage with customers and keep them coming back. To me that's the harder skill but it maybe easy for you.
in CA, you'll also need to complete Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) Training and pass an exam. This should be the easiest part and can be done online.

Some locations vary on the requirements to be a bartender. Most require a certificate of safe serving and health code proceedures.
The best way to start is as a server or barback to get the feel of it. Recipes are quickly learned. But the skill is in personality.

Hi,
Absolutely, you'll need a license to serve from you local ABLE commission. To receive the license there is a test that includes the rules of age, how alcohol effects individuals based on body weight, how to know if a patron is intoxicated and the rules of cutting the patron off.
You can actually teach yourself the recipes of making drinks. There are YT channels just for that.
Personality/ customer service is the #1 skill to have.
