Master Flairtending Course
..

Flairtending is a style of bartending that dates back over 150 years, when Jerry "The Professor" Thomas created a flaming cocktail that he poured in long fiery streams from mug to mug. Most people associate Tom Cruise in the movie "Cocktail" with flairtending, but any bartender who pours either two or more bottles in one hand uses flair.

Flair is the efficient movement and showmanship applied to bartending. It is not limited to flipping, spinning and catching bottles, glassware and bartools. The combination of multi-bottle pours, efficiency, accuracy and dexterity are the essence of Flairtending. Flairtending is not just for veteran bartenders, but anyone who loves to make drinks and entertain.
