Flair bartenders and the art of flair bartending

Flair bartenders have been around since the 1800s or so ...To me since I saw the film, cocktail with Tom Cruz when I was about 14 years old and then in a bar in cape town where I saw my first flair bartender in the rattle snake dinner (i was the dinners magician at the time)
Flair bartenders have come a long was since ,the technique has improved ,its taken bartending to a another level ,group of some very talented flair bartenders have created the FBA (Flair Bartenders Association )
which has become the mother to all bartenders in the industry .
All this and more has happened over the years .
welcome to the exciting world of Flair Bartenders .....

FBA Flair Bartenders Association  

This is where the Champions are made

The First time I came across the Flair Bartenders Association ,was in Brazil at the international bartenders championships ,where I saw the end of the competition and had the pleasure to train with the 1st and 2nd best flair bartenders in the world and one of the judges ,what a day ....
The FBA has been around for the last 12 years ,the competitions hosted are of the highest of quality and is a must if they are hosting a comp in your area ,for the competitors and the guest ,so the tickets are worth while and the competition is of the highest of quality ,have your game on before you enter ...
These competitions have guys like Rodrigo Delpech rank 1 in the world,Danilo Oribe number 2 and Dario Doimo number 3. you should see what these guys can do ...

The Shake 

Everwonder where the cocktail shaker come from

Shakers have been around for ever I am not sure which shaker was first if was shaking with the body or the cocktail shaker I can say that they may run hand in hand so far it known to trace back to South America where a jar was used to mix liquids quite funny the name mixology didnt exist then ...buy the time the kings and queens were in power the cocktails shaker was well known ,I mean every innkeeper had one ,to mix there guests drinks,to preform this method two containers were used ,when the states decided to ban alchool that is when every different type and style came out,
Once the states decided give way from the law of banning alcohol was when the cocktail shaker really came out of the box ,becoming of of the main artists in movies the cocktail shaker was finally famous ...

Different types 

Ever wonder which shaker is suposed to be used and how

This is the part what you need to know especially if you want to be a flair bartender ,the different types of shakers ,the only shaker for flair ,some call it Boston and others call it a flair shaker ,I have even see shaker tin .
working with the Boston shaker it could consist of two pieces the best would be all in metal ,A BAR IS A FAST PLACE you dont want the cocktail shaker to break.

The Cobbler Shaker is the one we normally found in hotels in your
classic cocktail bar ,I like to call it the all in one or the three in one ,the top half and the bottom half and the one thing we all need a CAP ,did you know that this cap can be used to measure the liquid content.
Having spent a little more money on the cobbler shaker you should look for one that has a strainer built in .

The French shaker is also two pieces this one is all ways metal at least the classic one ,and you dont find a strainer on this one .
