Shaken, or Stirred

Flair bartending is impressive and adds a lot of excitement and entertainment to any cocktail evening or party. But most of the time what happens if you try this is that you end up dropping an expensive bottle of liquor on the ground. Don’t be afraid, because flair bartending is a lot easier than it looks, and all it takes is practice and dedication, and the helpful tutelage of some of the Tellallmyfriends master bartending coaches!

At the Red Bull Room at our Cocktail Academy you’ll discover a playground of delicious drinks and fancy moves, and the whole area is set up with bounce mats so you don’t have to worry about the eventual slip-up! This flair bartending course from Tellallmyfriends is designed to teach you some of the basic moves which can be expanded and combined to create a truly impressive flair routine. For those not familiar with the art of flaring, it involves spinning expensive bottles in a way that looks dangerous and exciting, and including this with preparing a delicious cocktail! If you’ve ever seen Tom Cruise in the movie Cocktail, you’ll know all about how exciting a little bit of flaring can make the act of pouring a drink.

Now, flair bartending isn’t all about spinning bottles up in the air – it’s also about making a great cocktail. On this flairing course you’ll not only learn the moves you need to look hot behind the bar, but you’ll also come away with a few secret recipes for making some of the world’s most popular long and short drinks. You’ll use practice bottles that are perfectly weighted to give you the real flairing experience, but you won’t have to worry about what would happen if you dropped them! These bottles impart the confidence to pull off the stunts you’d never try with a real bottle, so you’ll be flairing like a pro in no time.

Even if you think you’re totally uncoordinated, you’ll be amazed at how fast you pick up the tricks of flare bartending. Courses like these can usually cost hundreds of pounds, but with Tellallmyfriends you get access to a comprehensive half-day course that explains all you need to know about flairing – after that it’s just up to you to practice, practice, practice!
