Flair Bartending Lesson 25: Glassware #1

Practice this at home!! Be sure to practice this enough until you're comfortable with it before you attempt it at work. Breaking glassware at work is generally a bad idea.

This week's move can be a really good gauge to test your customers' response to flair. I use this simple trick at least 50 times a night. If I get no response or a negative response from my guests, I simply go into making the drinks quickly and tastily. If I hear "Hey, that was cool" or "Did you see that?" or anything else positive from my guest, I know I can perform a little more exciting flair for them. This move is a great way to get a "read" on your patrons.

Hey, gr8t videos, step by step presentation A++. Was wondering if you had any of this on dvd available for purchase? If not you should make some, they would sell like hot cakes.

There's always something a bit more nerve-racking about throwing a glass and I don't know why. I can do the flat behind the back a million times but when it comes to using an empty glass (infront of a customer) I freak out.

@catfinger Hey. I have an idea as to why flairing with a glass is a little more "scary". It's a lot easier to catch a bottle simply because it's bigger. A glass is a lot smaller and a bit tricker to catch, thus increasing the risk of breakage.
