Juggle, spin, roll and shake
By THO XIN YI
OTHER than concocting potent drinks, bartenders are also skilled in juggling, flipping, spinning and rolling their bottles and shaker tins.
About 20 of them from established clubs and hotels in the country showed off these skills at the recently held National Flair Bartending Championship at Bangsar Village II in Kuala Lumpur.

Some won applause from the crowd while some kept dropping their tools out ofnervousness.
Other than their showmanship, they were also assessed on the flavours of their concoctions.
The championship organised by the Malaysian Association of Hotels, Malaysian Food & Beverage Executives Association and the Malaysia Bartenders Association, was held in search of the Best Flair Bartender of the year.
Amirrudin Omar from Lush Bar in Johor Baru walked away with the title as well as RM1,000 and a trophy.
