What Are The Drinks Bartenders Hate Making?
Bartenders see a lot of crazy things. From the drunk bachelorette party, to the secret late night set of a local jazz legend, to the most outrageous attempts to impress a date, there are times they love to serve up a fabulous drink to an appreciative customer, and times when they’re asked to make something they’d really rather not. Mojitos and blended daiquiris are some of their least favorite things. And some drink ordering mistakes can make the bartender’s job harder. Occasionally, a bartender’s pet peeve has more to do with where they’re working and what they have on hand than the drink itself. Next time you’re out, take a second to consider the setting before placing your order.

Here are a few tips:
- Don't order the margarita at a dive bar
- Save the Manhattan for the steakhouse or the cocktail lounge
- Skip the mojito when the bar is packed
- A deconstructed margarita is a waste of everyone's time
- Please don't ask for a piña colada at a music venue
- Consider having your martini stirred, not shaken
- If you don't like espresso, you don't want an espresso martini
- Surprise Me isn't a drink the bartender wants to make
- Try something different
