Flair Bartending Lesson #59: Double From Behind Back

Our second exhibition flair move is another relatively easy one. Again, exhibition flair means that you’re using less than a 1/4 full bottle. If you try this with a bottle more than 1/4 full you WILL be spraying everywhere.

For starters, it helps if you can do a Flat From Behind Back – this is essentially just an exhibition version of that move. Focus on getting a double rotation rather than a single. Not only does the double look flashier but it will also buy you more time and even help to keep from spilling.

For a little variety, practice catching with either hand. Also, toy around with where you’re catching the bottle – out to the side or more in front of you.
