This DVD showcases the year long coming together of qualifiers from around the World with this fantastic final.
Monte Carlo, home to the glamorous jet-set, played host to the world’s
best bartenders in the final of the Skyy Flair Global Challenge, culminating in a
spectacular finale. It was held on September 1, 2007 at Le Karement, Monte Carlo’s hottest venue.
The competition was created to showcase and celebrate the world’s best Flair (or
freestyle) bartenders. Over the course of 12 national heats it attracted over 400 entrants
from 20 different countries, all vying for the position of the Skyy Flair Global Challenge
Champion.
The final 16 represented the finest bartenders in the world. Each had to battle through
two rounds in which they had five minutes to prepare two cocktails in two categories;
real-life bartending and exhibition flairing. The bartenders were judged by Flair
Bartenders’ Association (FBA) Certified Master Judges using a unique scoring system,
created by the FBA, to fairly assess performance on stage.
“This competition was really on a global scale, bringing together winners from the
previous 12 national challenges. We have been overwhelmed by the amazing talent and
spirit that has been showcased throughout,” said Jim Allison, President of the FBA.
