I went to a birthday party at a brewery, and for whatever reason decided it would be amusing to order a chocolatini. The waitress stared at me and then started laughing. She then made an elaborate show at the table of putting whipped cream and cherries on it. It ruled hard enough that a couple of other people at the table decided to emulate me later. It was of course not funny when they did it.
Outside of occasions like this, I tend to order beer or gin and tonic. I have on occasion been places - usually restaurants, but sometimes small, flashy bars - where there's a bartender dying to show you something new, and then I just ask them to make me something they think I'll like.
