Precision. Style. Flow. When it comes to bartending, pouring is more than just a movement — it’s a craft. Every drop matters, whether you’re behind a beach bar in Ibiza or a cocktail lounge in Amsterdam.
But let’s be real: the pressure is on. Queues are long, orders are fast, and consistency is key. So how do the best in the game stay sharp and in control?
Let’s break it down. Here are 5 essential tips to help you pour like a pro — and how Pourify has your back every step of the way.
Your pour starts with how you hold the bottle. Keep your wrist firm, grip the neck (not the body), and stay balanced. Avoid flair unless you’ve got it down. Control always beats flash.
✅ Pro Tip: Keep elbows slightly bent and pour with confidence — hesitation leads to overpouring.
The classic 4-count (1 Mississippi…) gets you roughly 1.5 oz or 45 ml. But speed pourers vary, and so do bottle pressures.
✅ Pro Tip: Use this for rhythm, but don’t depend on it blindly — especially on busy nights. That’s where Pourify kicks in.
Even the best bartenders have off nights. That’s why top bars now use smart pourers like Pourify to track every pour in real time — without slowing down service.

Glassware is inconsistent. Pouring a double into a rocks glass? Don’t wing it. Use discreet tape or a sharpie under the bar to guide your fill levels.
✅ Pro Tip: Mark your speed pourers or use jiggers when needed. Precision = perfection.
