Monkey Shoulder — a whisky made by bartenders, for bartenders. 🥃✨

Named after an old malting term, Monkey Shoulder is a triple malt Scotch whisky, crafted by marrying three single malts to create a smooth, playful, and versatile spirit. Rich notes of vanilla, honey, orange zest, and soft spice make it approachable neat, effortless on the rocks, and outstanding in cocktails.

What truly sets Monkey Shoulder apart is its mixability. Designed with modern bars in mind, it shines in classics like the Old Fashioned, Whisky Sour, and Highball, while still holding its own in creative, contemporary serves. No heavy smoke, no overpowering peat — just balance, texture, and character.

It’s a reminder that great whisky doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, it just needs the right blend, the right attitude, and a little monkey business behind the bar. 🐒🔥

🔥 Types of Flair Bartending — More Than Just Tricks 🍸

Flair bartending isn’t just about throwing bottles in the air — it’s about how, where, and why you use those moves. In the world of bartending, flair is generally divided into three styles, each with its own purpose and personality behind the bar.

1️⃣ Exhibition Flair
This is the high-energy, crowd-pleasing side of flair. Exhibition flair is all about big, flashy tricks, speed, and entertainment. Think competitions, stage performances, and jaw-dropping bottle flips that leave the audience cheering. It’s not designed for busy service — it’s designed to steal the spotlight.

2️⃣ Working Flair
Working flair is where style meets practicality. These moves are smooth, controlled, and done while actually making drinks during service. The goal is to entertain guests without slowing down the bar. It’s subtle, stylish, and shows confidence — perfect for real bar environments.

3️⃣ Craft Flair
Craft flair focuses on finesse and detail. It blends small flair movements with cocktail craftsmanship — clean pours, precise techniques, and elegant gestures that enhance the guest experience. No big throws, just refined movements that elevate the drink and the bartender.

Each style has its place, and a great bartender knows when to use which one. At EBS, students learn all three — because flair isn’t about showing off, it’s about expressing your personality behind the bar.

At EBS Bangalore, our students don’t just learn bartending — they live it.
From the first day behind the bar to the final flair routine on stage, they experience a full transformation into confident, skilled, and globally-ready bartenders.

This is not just a course — it’s the launchpad to a global bartending career.

Whether they dream of working in luxury hotels, craft cocktail bars, nightlife hotspots, or even starting their own brand — EBS Bangalore is where that journey begins.

Behind every great cocktail is not just a recipe — it’s the technique behind it. 🍸
Shaking, stirring, layering, building… each method brings its own magic. The right technique controls dilution, aeration, texture, temperature, and balance, making the same ingredients taste completely different depending on how you handle them.

At EBS, we train students to master these essential foundations of bartending — because technique is what separates a drink from an experience. From the aerated brightness of a shaken cocktail, to the silky clarity of a perfectly stirred drink, to the precision of a layered shot — every movement behind the bar matters.

These are some basics every bartender must know… and the skills that elevate you from mixing cocktails to crafting unforgettable moments. 🥂✨
