Flair Bartending TV Lesson 86: Tin Garnish #1

 

We’ve got a new flair video coming to us every day this week, focusing on fun ways to garnish a cocktail. Bottle and tin flair is great fun, but garnish flair can be really effective 1) when you’re new and need some easier-to-learn moves, 2) when you don’t have lots of extra time to flair bottles but still want to give your guests a little something extra, and 3) as a perfect way to end a longer sequence or flair routine, either for your guests or at a competition.

The Tin Garnish #1 here is a relatively simple move.  It’s essentially just a behind the back throw with a garnish with one hand, then a behind the back throw with the other hand. These kinds of moves are why I talked during the first few videos about the importance of practicing ambidextrously – with both hands.

The Tin Garnish #1 works with just about any fruit garnish: cherry, lime, lemon, orange . You can even do this with an ice cube – which is actually a cheaper/easier thing to practice at home with.
