Tale from a bartender
Customer (C)
C: "I want a Titos martini, with no vermouth or olive juice with a twist of lemon"
Me: Of course!
(Friends that means im pouring a shot of titos into some ice shake, strain into a martini glass)
Not more than a minute later
C: "this is the smallest martini I've ever seen in my life!"
Me((thinking to myself))( how do I explain you literally just asked for a chilled shot in a 'fancy' glass)
Me: "Yes mam theres no vermouth or olive juice, thats why the glass isn't full, I could make this a double if you'd like!"
(This would make the glass more full in account of the other missing ingredients for a martini)
C: I don't want more alcohol! I want the drink to look the way it should!
.........
Me: Yes mam!
I take her martini glass back over to my well.
I pour the original drink into my Shaker. I literally fill the Shaker to the top with ice. I shake the bejesus out of this shot. (Martini?)
After shaking (and straining) the glass looks full. Friends this is a titos water at this point. Even after straining into a martini glass.
She was so happy she ordered a second one.
C also asked if it was at all possible to get a shrimp Alfredo, but instead of shrimp, could she possibly do chicken instead.
"So you want a chicken alfredo?"
Yeah I can do that easily (literally the next item on the menu under shrimp Alfredo)
I love bartending
To be fair c was actually very nice and sweet to me, just kinda dumb.
