Pour Cut #1: Flair Bartending TV Lesson 91

This week’s lesson is a handy little flashy way to finish making a drink. It’s called a “Cut” and involves learning how to very quickly “Cut” off the stream of liquid from the bottle to finish pouring a drink. It’s perfect for very busy nights when you don’t have time to really flip bottle bottles but want to add just a little flash to pouring a drink – AND it’s the perfect ending to a good long routine, too.

Most importantly: Make sure you have DRY HANDS!! Losing control of the bottle as you viciously cut it away is dangerous and may cause a heart attack (if you’ve ever accidentally missed a grip on a bottle at work and seen it heading over the bar towards guests, you know what I mean).

Also, you can probably do this with any pour spout, maybe, but I definitely prefer the Spill Stop 285-50s that we reviewed last week.

Have fun and practice, practice!

This is tough for me. I've got water flying all over the place, about 20 ft away from me.
