If you want to connect with them without lying (meaning you actually have to do this) then tell them this in your cover letter:
"While I haven't worked as a bartender professionally, I've been actively learning and practicing mixology at home and have amassed quite a collection of spirits in doing so. I consider myself to be highly teachable and adaptable. You'll find that I am extremely passionate about mastering the trade, and I am confident in my ability to bring enthusiasm and energy to your team."
^ Use your own words if you want to add more personality.
Learn a handful of classics as well as at least 1 difficult cocktail to show that you are dedicated to the craft, something like a Sazerac or an Aviation (or whatever is more popular in your area).
Once you've done that, as well as sending CVs out, call up a few bars directly and see if you can get a trial shift straight up.

Vs just saying “No but I want to learn” in a way that shows they mean it, while having some other experience that shows they are a hard worker
“While I have no bar or restaurant experience, per se…”

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Srs question for bartending crew. Do you actually sleep with customers? Do you even have time to talk to them?
Most bartenders I've seen are being worked like galley slaves during football games, concerts, etc. And the regulars I've seen in bars on slow nights are literally 50 yo alcoholic white men that come in there 6 nights a week. Like it doesn't seem like poocey heaven.

That said the really persistent ones hang out until last call.
