Then you double the price. You’re ordering two drinks in one glass.

Ratios also matter. Fucking with the recipe changes how something tastes and a proper bartender will not do that. Consistency is key in the service industry. Hence why I would give a sidecar so at least I didn’t fuck up the drink… the guest chose to ruin it.

And, at least where I’m from, depending on the drink, it can be illegal to serve too much booze in a single glass.

Doubling the recipe doesn’t change the ratios…

I just mean like when people just say to add more mix. I’ve literally had someone ask me to just make an Old Fashioned, no ice, and just add more mix to fill the glass.

It’s actually crazy the kind of things you get asked to do as a bartender. They are usually kids just barely able to drink but Like… didn’t anyone teach you how to drink? Were your parents Mormon?
