After seeing Dario Doimo win Legends of Bartending 10, I really became a huge fan.
I got the chance to meet Dario Doimo for the first time at SuperFlair in Windsor Ontario in May of 2009. Â That was an amazing competition which saw Dario place third in an all-star line up including Rodrigo Delpech, Danilo Oribe, and Vladymyr Buryanov to name a few.
I caught up with Dario again in September at Kahunaville in Las Vegas and saw him perform a flawless routine at his home bar as a part of the nightly shows they do.
Here is my interview with Dario Doimo.
Q- How did you get into Flair Bartending?
A-My brother got me into the world of Flair Bartending. Â He took a Flair Bartending Class, and when I saw what you could do with a bottle and tin I was shocked!
Q- Where can people see you live in action?
A- I am working at Kahunaville at Treasure Island.
Q- Other than yourself, who is your favourite Flair Bartender?
A- Â Well, I don’t really have just one, but I respect people like Rodrigo Delpech and Danilo Oribe for their passion,and determination to win.
Q- What is your favourite Flair bar?
A- I enjoy every flair bar because it’s always a good time. Â Kahunaville is the place to be. Â They have Flair shows there 4 nights a week.
Q- To date, what is your greatest flair achievement?
A- For sure it was winning Legends of Bartending 10. Â Since I started flairing, I’ve always dreamt to win that one, and after a couple of years of hard work, I won! Â It’s a dream come true!
Thank you to Dario for taking the time to do this interview. Â We hope to see some great things in the near future.
BartenderOne Cocktails on ET Canada
Recently, BartenderOne teamed up with Fastlife,  Canada’s most stylish speed dating and singles’ events service, for a featured piece on Entertainment Tonight Canada.
The event, named Cocktail Creations, took place at one of Toronto’s elite Nightclub venues, Shmooze.
The evening began as ten single women, and ten single men arrived with hopes of meeting that special someone. Â The idea was that the ladies would be behind the bar, making cocktails for their dates. Â Every eight minutes the gong would sound signifying the men on the outside of the bar to grab their freshly made cocktail, and rotate to the next date. Every other date would have the ladies creating drinks using fresh ingredients.
To start off, the ladies would receive proper instruction on how to create the cocktail with a little flair from Gavin MacMillan and the BartenderOne team. Â They would then recreate two of each drink. One for themselves, and one for their date.
On the menu for the event were drinks such as the Mojito, Cosmopolitan, Margarita, Orgasm, and a Slippery Nipple shooter.
All of the recipes were a huge success, but the biggest reaction was definitely  for the Slippery Nipple. Not for the name or the recipe, but because of how the shooters were to be taken.
The event planners set up a row of ten chairs and asked the men to take a seat. Â Then, the shooters were handed out and the men were instructed to hold them between their knees. Â The ladies were then told to take back the shooters but were not allowed to use their hands. Â Not bad for a first date!
The evening continued on and it was obvious that the singles were loosening up and having a great time.
Some sparks were flying around the room, and a few couples were really hitting it off.
The Entertainment Tonight Canada cameras were there to capture the event in its entirety, including the shooter portion, which for some reason didn’t make it to air.
The episode aired on Friday January 8th, and both FastLife, and BartenderOne gained great exposure.
Thanks to Fastlife and ET Canada for another fantastic event!
