ENJOY SOME TIME OFF! You deserve it…

Legends of Bartending 8 is finally over. Either all that practice paid off or it didn’t. Either way you deserve a break. Grab your significant other, tell them you love them… and take a vacation and go to a bar and be served instead of you being the one serving.

Let loose with the one you love and thank them for being there to support you in your dreams and passion. Don’t neglect them. Always try to find time to appreciate each other. Don’t waste this time. Enjoy the time off because there are more Flair competitions right around the corner.

We start our vacation with some vibrant vacation cocktails from Flairbar.com’s resident mixologist Francesco Lafranconi. Put on your Hawaiian shirt, break out the comfy shorts and open up our ‘Flavors’ page. Just don’t try to limbo after too many of these taste bud teasers;-)

Also we have another edition to our site for all you mixologists out there. The new content collector called ‘Cocktails’. This is where you can share your own Skyy vodka and Finest Call cocktail recipes with the rest of the world and get credit for it.

We now shift our focus on possibly one of the best Legends of Bartending ever! This month’s ‘Comp Reviews’ is all about the Legends of Bartending 8. Where we saw a repeat, some familiar faces and Team Japan dominate. Enjoy…

Next we move on to the first ever twenty four hour Flair bar brought to you by our very own Flairbar.com CEO Rick Barcode and Mike Taing. Sure they both can Flair bartend but can they own and operate a successful Flair bar? Get to know more about them on our ‘Interviews’ page brought to us by Robyn Closson. Sounds like a great reality show…

Speaking of reality television. Next we go on the road with Flairco. Dean Serneels gives us an update on what he has been up to and shares with us some reality television secrets. Shhh… We promise not to tell. Check it out on our ‘Articles’ page. Hot chicks and Flair, I like it already.

Then we have Martin Janica showing us a nice two tin and bottle working Flair sequence in the Skyy vodka booth at the 2006 Nightclub and Bar show on our ‘Masterclass’ page. Something John Niekrash would be proud of.

Someone else to be proud of is Toby Ellis coming back onto the Flair scene and proving he still is a contender. This month he talks to us about martinis and his take on them. You can read it all on ‘Cut Off’ by Toby Ellis. Please no “Shaken not Stirred” jokes…

It was time once again for us to turn over the microphone to you our loyal Flairbar.com readers. We had questions and you had answers. See what the final word was on our ‘And Finally’ page. Lights, camera, action…

Also, the Vice President of the USBG (United States Bartenders Guild) Nevada Chapter, Bobby G., is ‘In The Mix’ again as he shares his future and reader questions with us.

We have a new ‘Reader Contest’ that will bring out the true artist in you plus our regular features, more ‘Barware’, more pages, and more Flair than you can shake a six man tandem Flair team at.

To Flair & Friends.
