I have been on this journey as an amateur for like 2 years now and when I go to a cocktail bar I like to look at the wall, and order off menu.
I'd like to ask about how this comes across:
Let's say I order something with like 4 ingredients, and they gather them all and make my drink. Then, when I go back, they ask if I want another and I order something completely different, and I keep ordering different, (sometimes lesser known) drinks throughout the night.
Do bartenders find that annoying? Am I being a pain in the ass?
I have been given free drinks a couple times for introducing the bartender to something new, so maybe not?
Yup, that makes sense.
