The Flair Bartending Blog

Those of us that share a passion for Flair Bartending“>Flair Bartending tend to enjoy watching great live shows at competitions or getting a great bartending video to watch at home.

And then of course there are people like me who like both.

Flair has come a long way since the days long ago, and it has been seen on the big screen with the movie in the 80’s called Cocktail with Tom Cruise, and it is now being seen more and more on TV and video.  It is being made popular more and more and there are many bartenders around the world falling in love with it and practicing hours and hours to get perfect their craft.

By far, my favourite video/movie is the one made by a couple of crazy bartenders from Canada called Bottleslinger.  Chuck McIntosh and Nick Rossi came together to produce three top notch videos that are simply brilliant.  They travel around the world meeting up with the world’s top Flair Bartenders and get the best flair footage I have ever seen.  On top of that they add some pretty wild and crazy bar girls, naked women all mixed with drinking like you have never seen before.

Sounds pretty cool huh?

If you are a fan of Flair Bartending, then you need to see these videos.  The last one they made I waited for over a year going to their website waiting for the updates for it to be ready.  I have to say that I waited a long time, but it was well worth it.  You know the old saying, the best things in life are worth waiting for, and well this was no exception.

One of the reasons I love it so much is that they feature all of my favourite bartenders like Tom Dyer from England, Rodrigo and Christian Delpech from Argentina, Adriano Marcellino from Argentina, Giovanni and Dario Doimo from Italy, and of course Chuck puts on a show only like Chuck Mac can.

I think I own every Flair Video out there and my favourite is by far are these ones that are made by Bottleslinger.

It is the one video series that I think every serious bartender or bartending fan must have. It is excellent in giving you a behind the scenes look at how top flair bartenders practise and party.  I put it on with my friends before we go out for a night drinking, but be warned, it makes you want to party hard.

In this video, you see all of your favourite Flair Bartenders showing their top moves, and it is edited brilliantly to hard, edgy music which gives it that extra party flavour.  On top of that, the naked party girls, wet t-shirt contests are pretty unbelievable if I do say so myself.

I think this video is an absolute must have for someone who really is serious about learning Flair Bartending or is just a fan and wants to see some bad ass bartending videos.
