"Flair bartending" is the practice of entertaining guests, clientele, or audiences with the throwing/juggling of bar tools (such as shaker tins) and liquor bottles in tricky, dazzling ways. It's actually a dangerous task due to the risk of glass breakage!
Host Bob Blumer sets to work learning this special form of showmanship, then prepares to enter an International Flair Competition in Las Vegas, the "mecca" of flair bartending. Bob's challenge: Woo the judges with the technique, flow and creative flair of his routine, while making actual drinks -- and all in just three minutes flat.
And his reward? The opportunity to learn from the world's best flair bartenders...and of course, tasting all the drinks!
