| What are drinks do you hate to make? What are “douche-y” orders? What are awful customers like? I’d love some Kitchen Confidential insights from bartenders. |

| A friend who worked in a Cape Cod bar for some years told me she hated to make all drinks. Her preference to serve was beer, wine, and shots. Everything else took up too much time. |

Not a bartender, but I got a HEAVY eyeroll when I ordered an Aperol Spritz recently. Maybe I'm douche-y and don't realize it.

Anything that needs a blender is a PIA.
Anything that is layered is a PIA. |

This is a very typical order these days, especially in the summer... |

Our blender was always "broken" because how much of a pain frozen drinks were.
But the simpler the drink, the faster you can move. Of course, if you bartend in a place with an extensive cocktail menu, people will order cocktails. If you work in an Irish bar, you will mostly be pulling beers. Choose wisely my friends! |

Amazing how often a spoon falls into the blender, isn't it? |
