Re: on ordering cocktails at a bar or restaurant
I generally don't drink anything with more than two ingredients. 98% of my drinking involves beer, bourbon on the rocks or g&t with a slice of lemon (I still get a lime 2/3 of the time). The most complicated drink I order with any regularity is a martini, which I like in and out, lightly shaken, up, with a twist. I'll only order this at a place I'm confident they'll understand. In general ordering needlessly complicated/obscure drinks annoys bartenders unless the place is dead and they have nothing to do.
