Heh... took one last Christmas for pure interest sake as well - really enjoyed the product knowledge aspect of the course... as well as the section on common bar scams.
My personal favourite is the "repackaging scam"; where you take a standard mixed drink, toss it in a cocktail glass (or something else fancy) and seriously mark up the price. Basically selling the "package" or the image it presents, not really the drink. A classic example of this is the Crantini... a Vodka Cranberry re-marketed and a cocktail (usually for almost double to cost)
