Kendall Jenner’s Bartending Skills Spark Mixed Reactions at 818 Tequila Event
While she’s trying her best to show off her mixology skills, some fans were not impressed.
In a short clip shared by the Kardashian News fan account, Kendall giggles while mixing margaritas for the crowd at the Goodtime Hotel. She is criticized for her bartending skills, with one saying, “She should just stick to modeling.”
“That’s some bad bartending,” another one commented. California requires 40 hours of classroom instruction to obtain a bartending license.
“She should try to look a bit more confident in her product/brand if she wants to sell it,” said another. One fan defended the model saying, “It’s more anxiety cause she has to do bartending, something that is not modeling, and it is outside her comfort zone.”
Bartending in Miami: The Row Sandals & Roberto Cavalli Jeans
Earlier in the day, the then-26-year-old model channeled the ‘90s while mixing 818 margaritas and signing bottles of her tequila at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Offering a glimpse of her midriff, Kendall wore an olive-green cropped tee and a pair of Roberto Cavalli light yellow acid-washed straight-fit jeans, which featured the Italian luxury fashion house’s iconic tiger and amour tattoo print.

Kendall appeared braless underneath her basic tee. She kept the rest of her look simple, accessorizing with just a dainty necklace, understated hoop earrings, and a delicate gold chain bracelet.
Selected as one of today’s hottest women, Devin Booker’s girlfriend wore minimal makeup and styled her hair in low pigtails.

The fashion model, who regrets getting an inner lip tattoo, kept her hair and makeup simple, coordinated her look with a Gucci GG Monogram beaded crystal and lizard horsebit bag, and slung it over her shoulder.
