"Flair Bartenders Shakedown"
West Palm Beach, Florida USA
January 15th 2007

Something wicked this way came again! The Flair Bartenders Shakedown is the first Flair bartending competition based entirely around Working Flair. For the second qualifier we saw a huge support from the locals who were blown away with the talent on stage. After the last bottle was throw the final outcome was...

1st Place

Rodrigo Cao finished with top honors this month. He had a highly energetic round full of personality and smoothness.

His strategy was smart... Fun, Smooth and full of personality. He brought the crowd in with little looks and smiles that he worked into his round making his whole round appear seamless and almost effortless. Like he was behind his home bar making you a drink and having fun.

Great job and we look forward to seeing him in the finals on May 21st 2007. Click on Rodrigo's picture to the right to see a highlight of his round.

2nd Place

Dario Doimo finished in second place this time and also qualifies to come back on the finals. Dario had an amazing round and showed some incredible Working Flair... Italian style!

With a few less deductions Dario could have been holding the big check at the end of the night. Never the less the finals is whole other game...

Also rounding out third place again this month was Cesar Romero. Now working in a dedicated Flair bar his skills are improving greatly.

Taking this months honorable mention goes to Martin Janica and Luciano Pantiroli who put on a show stopping demo of their Flair skills on the spot. Under pressure and no pressure at the same time... Great job guys!

The results are in... 1st place... Rodrigo Cao, 2nd place Dario Doimo and 3rd place Cesar Romero.

A special thanks to all the competitors, judges, Bud Man, staff and supporters who made this event a success. We will see you next month, where the drink list changes along with two new finalists.
