Flair
The flair is an acrobatic work style of bartenders that has been around since the 19th century, although the modern flair was born in the 70s, when bars began hiring in addition to bartenders, actors, comedians and street performers. Performing stunts with bottles, glasses and food soon attracted the attention of numerous customers. The flair became very popular around the world in the 80s of the 20th century thanks to the enormous success of the movie “Cocktail”, starring Tom Cruise.
