Mangaluru: Martiny, one of the top professional bartending organisations, has entered into ‘India Book of Records’, for the most bartenders (both male and female) flaring at the same time.
The record was achieved on November 17, at City Beach, Bolar, Mangaluru. The certificate stating about the achievement was received on January 12.
Explaining about the achievement, Joseph Crasta, one of the partners of Martiny, Mangaluru, said that “Flair bartending, is the practice of expert, trained bartenders entertaining guests or audiences with the manipulation of bar tools (for example cocktail shakers) and liquor bottles in tricky, dazzling ways. Used occasionally in cocktail bars, the action requires skills commonly associated with jugglers. The same trick was used during our record making day where 44 bartenders carried out tricky manoeuvres with liquors at the same time. This made our entry into ‘Indian Books of Records’ for most bartenders flaring at the same time.”
Vinod, another partner of Martiny, Mangaluru said “Serving a couple of rounds of straight drinks in functions was once a matter of prestige, especially for the Catholic families. Open bar counters where the supply of liquor is uninterrupted, gradually replaced this culture. Now, years after, cocktail/mocktail counters are much sought after option in coastal city Mangaluru, and Silicon city Bengaluru.”
“Though the trend in the selection of beverages for family functions has changed gradually, the appetite for mixed drinks started roughly about a decade ago. Martiny had also setup a bar counter at the mehndi ceremony of Sandalwood actors Yash and Radhika Pandit. It has also served in the ceremonies of Indian-born businessman, BR Shetty, and many others,” added Vinod.
He also said that a lot of youth, of late, have been taking bartending as a profession, and have been serving at well-known restaurants and hotels.
“Martiny also conducts classes in bartending at reputed hotel management colleges to youngsters,” said Vinod.
