"I work as a cocktail bartender in a busy hotel restaurant/club. Recently I decided to improve my bar work and put a bit of spice into it. So for the first 6 months I've been practising with empty Bacardi, Malibu, Sambuca and Smirnoff bottles. At work I only use these to "flair" with no more than 100ml of booze inside. Obviously they spin differently (harder, slower) than empty bottles. Here's my point - these Flairco bottles also spin that way, even if empty. This makes it hard for a beginner, who got used to glass bottles in the first place. I'm sure it's just a matter of practice to get used to it, but I'm just sharing my first experience with other newbies, to save them from disappointment. I know there are weight details provided on the website, but c'mon - let's be honest - who weights glass bottle before ordering flair practice bottle? Anyway the product seems to be tougher than Vin Diesel and I'm looking forward to the next few weeks, when I should got used to the new bottle. If them folks from roadhouse managed - so will I!"

"Fabulous item! Very well made and sturdy. Being plastic prevents it from breaking despite what it hits. I've gone through a table and several ornaments that have got in my way, but the bottle remains unscathed! Thank you!"

That thing they do with the bottles, spinning them round, chucking them over their heads… some people must be born with a gift, right? Wrong.
