Four-time World Flair Champion Nicolas Saint-Jean has a long-standing association with Midori. He is officially sponsored by the brand and represents Midori in flair shows and competitions, as well as starring in the Midori TV commercial.
A philosophy shared by both Midori and Nicolas alike is to encourage the new, younger generation of bartenders to develop their flair skills. Using the Midori bottle is a test of real skill and Midori hosts training sessions and an annual Midori Flair Championship dedicated to finding the Flair superstars of the future.
Midori has also recently helped Nicolas Saint-Jean open his own Flair Training School, called the "Green Room", and to develop a course to train bartenders in all aspects of flair. Each year Midori and Nicolas will select 40 bartenders with a true passion for Flair and sponsor them to attend the unique "Pure Flair" course in the Green Room. It is an unparalleled opportunity for bartenders to learn and develop their skills.
