Flair bartending is a serious art form. You can dazzle your customers with the bar acting as your stage. One wrong move or placement can lead to an accident, so it’s essential to be safe.

Essential Things to Remember About Flair Bartending

1. Be decisive

If you’re hesitant, the chances of accidents increase. You can’t let your indecisiveness affect your performance. That’s why performers have a routine that they practice weeks before; you can’t just change your mind in an instance, especially when expensive liquor bottles are involved.

2. Practice often

Practice makes perfect performances. Remember to keep note of your mistakes so you can avoid them in the future. Practicing can help you do better in the bar and make you an effective flair bartender.

3. Don’t spill

As a bartender, you’ll be working with plenty of liquor. Each spill you make can accumulate over time and sum up to at least one bottle of alcohol, plus spilling liquor on your bar or your guests can be unsightly.

4. Keep your distance

When doing a performance or preparing a cocktail, it’s important to keep your distance from the customers. One wrong move, and you could accidentally spill a bottle of alcohol on your guests and could ruin your tips.

5. Take extra caution

This is important for fire cocktails such as Backdraft, Flaming gorilla, or Bailey’s Comet. Anything that involves fire and alcohol needs to be handled with care. You need water, a fire extinguisher, and a first aid kit near your bar if an accident occurs.

6. Be vocal towards customers

Remember to communicate to customers about what you’re planning to do with your trick. There are times when they tend to get a little too close to get a better picture for their social media, which usually leads to a big spill or glass breaking.
