Classic Cocktails Thread

[Anonymous No.9833883]

Has anyone been confronted with blank stares while ordering your favorite classic cocktail at, what you thought, was a fine eating establishment? Sometimes, I think it’s just a lazy waiter not wanting to take the next step in asking the bartender. Once I had the bartender come out and ask me how to make it, which I did. I think the main problem is youth. Young wait staff and young bartenders, but honestly what are they teaching bartenders to make these days? What’s your favorite old school cocktail that elicited a “what” response? Pic related.

A lot of places don’t have absinthe on hand. Even when I see some behind the bar, it’s been hit and miss on how they make it. I saw one bartender google the recipe one night and then when the drink was served it had absinthe poured in it, instead of just rimming the inside of the glass.

aviation is far and away the worst classic cocktail. it tastes like handsopa. last word is deez but chartreuse is not really my go to.

if it's hot, I usually go with a cognac french 75 or a jungle bird. but if I'm trying to stay warm maybe a rum old fashioned or a sazerac. Last time I was asked what a drink was by a waiter (at a really nice place in FIDI NYC) it was when I ordered a fancy free. I explained and got a pretty good expression. Or Maybe when I ordered a tom n jerry but I can understand if a nice place still can't make it.

No study. This is a discussion about cocktails that have been around forever, what people like, and the experiences they’ve had ordering things they love. I thought that bartenders would have a shared knowledge of certain drinks, because many have histories and their origins and evolutions sometimes overlap.

They sold daquiris by the bottle and the only straight whisky they had was "shots: Glenfiddich" for $6.50 each.

Do margaritas count? I'm just starting to get into alcohol. I'm a disgusting pleb that sticks mostly with cayman jack and jose cuervo pre mixed ones. Any good brands I should get for making them on my own? Keep in mind the most complicated drink I've made so far is adding a shot of lemon licquer to earl grey tea.

What do you mean? I wouldn't call using a 100% agave skimping. Where I live they're much more expensive than Cointreau at least.

The fuck, OP, I just made and tasted a Negroni for the first time. That's some bitter shit. Is it supposed to make the back of your tongue feel like sandpaper?

Tried the salt trick. That mitigated it a little bit.
Upgraded the gin. That helped a lot.
Diluted it with some club soda. That just brought out the bitterness even more.
Even tried a version with a barspoon of simple syrup added. That just turned it into cough syrup.

I think maybe I just don't like Campari. Shit. I just blew thirty bucks on a bottle of this stuff too. Now how am I gonna use this up?

Hey /ck/. Need gift ideas, preferably low-budget, for a cocktail enthusiast. I gave them Death & Co. some years ago and they loved it. Doesn't have to be something amazing, but something useful or would improve quality of life as a bartender.

I just make a cup of coffee and dump it into my insulated mug that work gave away at a Christmas party and top off whatever is left with half baileys and half whiskey or vodka.

In a bar in brooklyn i once asked the bartender for a gin and tonic

i've never had one before so i was excited to try it. i had a sip and had what i can easily describe as basically sprite + vodka and i didn't say anything about it for some reason. i wish i would've said ''what the fuck is this''. they aren't supposed to taste like that, are they?

For G&Ts in bars they often use a soda gun for the "tonic". Not sure what crap they're using, but it always tastes much sweeter than proper tonic.
