Tonight, I ordered a Manhattan, and the bartender laughed at me.
I was at my city’s symphony, and I wanted a Manhattan.
The bartender was like, “You wanna take that to your seat, princess? Or you gonna slam it in front of me like a badass?”
I said, “I want to sip on it at my seat.”
Then, step by step, he was like, “That enough vermouth? Is that the right whiskey for you?” Did I do a good job?”
What the heck was he on about? I like strong whiskey drinks like old fashioneds and manhattans. I ended up not tipping him because I was annoyed.
Is it faux pas to order drinks like this? Am I missing something?
Note: I’m a millennial, if that makes any difference.
