Ladies and Gentlemen, first off... FIRST POST OF 2009!
When working at the bar and not using our flair bottles what can you do...
FULL BOTTLE: I can't do much, stalls without flipping some rapid spins without it leaving my hand, even flat around the back seems to waste liquor, usually rely on tin moves or a tin bottle trick, like around the neck to tin pour. Simple rolls down the arm, pour spout facing up.
3/4 BOTTLE: Almost the same as full, might be able to get it upside down a little bit more depending on my pour spout and bottle (the ball ones work well here).
1/2 BOTTLE: The fun starts... can do single flip moves, flat around the back, side head catches. Single spin moves. And of course all of the above.
1/4 BOTTLE: Allegedly this is when flair is supposed to... well flair, I can do all of the above, but it seems like really complicated stuff Around the world, juggles, and double spins are shooting out vodka tonics all over.
TWO SHOTS OR LESS: The sky is the limit, i can pretty much pull all the moves I've mastered, atw tin catch, around the back stall, atw stall, etc.
Empty bottles: not gonna serve much liquor, but i find i cannot juggle with even shot in there (rum in the eye stings gentlemen).
Favorite bottles right now are Bacardi for just about everything, of course malibu seems easy enough, smirnoffs seems friendly for catches, we have finlandia and these things seem like even a begginer can do complicated stalls with.
Opinions?
Keep flipping!

Hey! Im jsut starting but i am using mostly Smirnoff bottles and wine bottles (weird i know but i figure... flip 'em if you got 'em) I usually drink all the alcohol because im a poor student (of legal age for the last 13 months (: haha) then add about 1/3 of the bottle worth of water... this way not only do i get to practice but i get a nice shower for a while till ig gets below 1/4 haha... I love doing it though... definitely a hobby ill stick with for a while
BTW is it just me of does it seem like this forum site dropped off in posts around 2007? lets get it going again
