Well as you can see by my name....I am a flair bartender.

If you asked the majority of the public to name the first cocktail that came into their heads they would most likely say "Sex on the Beach".
I know being a flair bartender my knowledge about all alcohol is very very low but other aspects of my bar tending makes up for that.

We are trying (some people more successful than others) to put mixology into out routines on stage.

To be honest someone could train me up in a month to enter a mixology competition and I could do well, but for a mixologist to be trained for a month to enter a flair comp and do well is well IMPOSSIBLE!!!

"I'll have a sctoch please. Glenfiddich." You would probably ask if I wanted it up or on the rocks. I would say "No, it's scotch!"

You seem to be more interested in compitions rather than quality of a drinks. It is obvious that you prefer to be on stage performing. Quality of the drink just isn't your game. Winning flair comps is your game.

The act of mixing a good drink has been around much longer than the "ACT of flair bartending."
Flair bartending was born because the bar or drinks were not very good. That is why there are flair bartenders and good bartenders.
