PS. What is showbartending?
Remember the movie „Cocktails“ starring Tom Cruise from 1987?
Showbartending is the artistic performance of a bartender with various show elements.  The bartender will use bottles, shakers, ice cubes etc. The show will be accompanied by rhythmical music. The objective is to entertain and thrill the audience by using creative show elements while creating and presenting a drink.
