What to consider when doing Flair at the bar

Sanz Cocktails ·

What to consider when doing Flair at the bar:

  • Never train in front of the public while working at the bar.
  • Don´t take the risk of doing moves that you have not properly trained in order to avoid accidents during work.
  • Avoid thinking that because you do working flair you are going to take longer to prepare cocktails, furthermore, you can manage to be more productive. 
  • Flair forms part of the show, so you do it to liven up and entertain the customers you have in front of you.
  • Bear in mind that utensils must always be clean.
  • Always wear a smile. It is a muscle that must be trained. Usually, when we concentrate on doing something, we have a serious face, but when it comes to doing Flair, we need to get used to smiling to make it come naturally.
  • And of course, treat customers like a guest who is entering your home, always well cared for. They should feel that they are in a good place, welcome and have the feeling that we will make them enjoy the experience.

These are some points that were talked about at the #SanzFlairChallenge Masterclass that the winners of the challenge recently attended.

Thanks to the teacher Adrián Tureatca for his great tips and the flair masterclass.

Thanks to IratyJesúsLucasAndrés and Ernesto for being such good pupils and sharing your talent with us.
