Bartending is way more than these tricks. You need to have some knowledge of ingredients and drinks. You can flip bottles and throw shit in the air all day but if your not fast and have to Google every drink someone orders, then even if you do get hired, you won't make shit for money.

[@amberrose7647]

I've been studying mixology so intensely for the last 2 years, been working in bars for the last year and a half and I'm actually super proud of myself and how much I've learned as a mixologist. However, as a bartender, my flair abilities are just embarrassing haha. Everytime I try to learn, i make such a mess/so much noise hahaha.

[@eyespy3001]

Ugh…mixologist… It’s just bartending, mate. The term mixology is as corny as the term foodie. I’ve been bartending for nearly twenty years, and every time someone comes in for a job and the first thing they say is “I’m a mixologist” I know right off the bat that they’re a shit bartender. My response is always, “great, we’ll start you off as a barback so you learn how to tend the bar.” That usually separates the wheat from the chaff.

[@manuele.itriagom.728]

@@eyespy3001 well, I have to agree with that. I separate the two by calling mixology the whole process of using techniques to create infusions, bitters, etc. And then bartending as actually working at the bar. But you are 100% right. It's the same thing

[@thegoodstuff8193]

Flair is not needed to be a good mixologist .. Most flair shown above is unhygienic (putting the damn bottle in the shaker) and it's hard to measure accurately whilst doing all this .

[@sirriffsalot4158]

It's unfortunate that I'm from Norway and doing my bartending there... If the authorities saw us pouring like this we'd lose our license to serve alcohol pretty damn quick, lol, it's just that strict... Gotta measure every drink out. Also, the bar I work at? There's just no time for flare -- if I were to try doing napkin-tricks the people furtherst back in the queue would only get their drink come midnight, ROFL! Cool tricks though for when you have just a few guests ordering, gonna try some of it out, thanks!

[@TomDyerBartender]

Ive been to Norway many times and have friends that moved to work there. They all flair and used flair behind the bar and made a lot of tips. They know how to free pour and they use a jigger as well. It's all about perspective and using the right moves at the right time. Check out my secret flair moves video

[@sirriffsalot4158]

Sorry for the late response. But yeah of course some people will, Norway's a long and windy place, haha! But I guess the place I work at just chooses to follow the laws of Norway to the letter though. We have regular random inspections from people in civilian clothing who put marks in your records for the most annoying and ridiculous things, and if they see you doing this kinda free pouring stuff you're very likely to get at least a written warning if not a dot or two in your book if a lot of other things aren't right according to them, and once you've received either of those they are even more liable to come through more often.. It sucks :(@@TomDyerBartender

[@siqiaoyin9040]

excuse me sir, may I ask a question? Suppose I am trying to make a drink and I usually use a jigger, am I also able to pour amount of liquid accurately while performing these wonderful tricks?

[@WackVusz]

there's a method called free pouring where you count seconds to pour exactly 1oz or more, knowing that any liquid (not syrups) comes out at the same speed/time

[@WackVusz]

it takes a couple days to learn and it really comes in handy if you have a lot of drinks to prepare

[@TomDyerBartender]

Yes. Stefano, gave a good explanation. Have a look for a video on "free pouring" and that should help you out

[@kacperzagalski4648]

One think. What about the amount of liquid poured i to the shaker while rolling the bottle. You can ot masure that or you can pour it to the jiger after all but it would looks really stupid.

[@kengray1663]

I assumed that if someone wasn't free pouring it was because they weren't allowed to, not because they weren't familiar with it lol

[@highninesun]

He must have some misunderstanding of “beginner”😂

How do you keep your counts accurate?

Practice. You'll be surprised how accurate you can be if you just practice a little bit. You can always use a Jigger at the beginning to check your pours before they go into the drink

[@TomDyerBartender]

You got it Mark. I count my pours. I can now count for Oz or Mls. With practice one can become very accurate when performing these moves and free pouring. It takes a little bit of time, but you'll be surprised how good you can get it.

Yo! I love the video! When would you use the long pours? Like the one where you roll down and up under your arm, I don't know a lot of cocktails that needs like 10cl of vodka :b

With practice one is able to pour accurately with these techniques. After doing it so many times you can control the liquid better than you think. The assisted roll doesnt pour during the roll (maybe just a few drops). When starting out you can measure your pour with a Jigger before pouring, or even better practice with water to understand what happens during the move. I hope that helps?

how do you control the amount of liquid with the second trick?

By counting. Learning how to Free pour means counting when you pour. During the rolling part of the move, hardly any liquid pours out (maybe a few ml's) so when you pour you're able to count to achieve the correct amount
