The UK bartenders have a distinct split when it comes to this issue of...Flair
Bartenders can flip bottles well but ask them to make a quality, thought
provoking, mouth watering drink using bourbon or gin. This task given to the
mixologist would be thought about the flair bartender on the other hand would
throw a carton of juice at the bourbon, flip the lime wedge and be done.
please let me know what you think as this is an issue that frequantly comes up
in our discussions during our BarSchool courses. The question is can a
serious mixologist be a flair bartender too, and can a flair bartender be a
mixologist...I'll refer you all to the movie "Me, Myself and Irene"...
