IT’S ALL MY FAULT!!!

My girlfriend and I have been together for about two years now. Within that time her taste in spirits has definitely elevated. She’s probably going to kill me for this, but she has gone from Arbor Mist and cheap vodka, to wine from Alsace, France and Woodford Reserve bourbon! Her dad even compliments her on her ascension in alcohol choices! She has without a doubt become a wine, beer, & liquor snob! But why wouldn’t she? I dedicate my life to learning alcohol, so as I learn more, so does she. Steel is supposed to sharpen steel, right? Those of you who enjoy reading my blogpost can already tell by the progression of this writing that I’m leading up to something. Well you’re correct! My boo has a cruel way of torturing other bartenders when she’s out. She doesn’t want a Texas Margarita or Cosmo, oh no! She wants Mint Juleps, Mojitos or something that is going to take the bartender around eight minutes (8 minutes is an eternity in bartender time!) to make! I don’t care how many times I try to explain to her, certain cocktails are reserved for restaurant type bars where the bartender has the luxury to spend 8 minutes or more on each cocktail. Not to mention, she even knows my struggle of working at a fast paced bar, getting slammed, and everybody in the place all of a sudden wants a Strawberry Daiquiri! It has gotten so bad to the point where she will even
instruct the bartenders on the correct ingredient portions for her cocktails. Yeah, it’s that bad! She’s out of control, and it’s all my fault! I said all of that to say…I’M SORRY my fellow bartenders if you’ve ever encountered my girlfriend! I know she is an emotional terrorist. Know that I am working speedily to rectify the situation!
