I suggest number three for several reasons. If you frequent a bar (or order a drink/bottle enough) you should know how it tastes like, the process of preparing it and how much it costs. Take for example something like a girl drink, buttery nipple, it's a third of everything in ratio, (butterscotch schnapps, mid-top shelf vodka and baileys creme, caramel preferred). You order it enough times, try a few times and use the same ingredients. When you look up (or try other drinks) do the same thing. What else uses schnapps, vodka or creme. Go through the same procedure. Eventually you'll get into wines and other spirits (liquors) that's for the more "sophisticated" and older crowd, with regards to pairing or fine dining.
Starting off with even 5-10 basic recipes in due time and practice. You can learn on your own how to make up to 20-30 drinks within a few months.
How costly is bartending school? I only ask because this method, in which you order 20-30 drinks multiple times, is costly. I browse my local CC course catalog from time to time to check out the non-credit classes and I swear I saw it (9-5 M-F for one week) for $595.
