OK full disclosure, I’m genuinely and highly surprised when I realize how many people still think that a daiquiri is a frozen strawberry drink overly sweet made with cheap, artificially made fructose syrup. While we’re at it, I get a little confused when I get a request for any other concoction that suffered from the dark age of cocktails. Any Tiki cocktails are good examples for that. Am I facing one that knows or not? Or will he return what I consider to be the proper recipe because he’s expecting a diabetes crisis mix? It’s always a guess and I try to keep in mind that people don’t come at the bar to be schooled. They come to have fun so I don’t take it too seriously. But between us, let’s clarify something, Tiki drinks suffered a lot in the past but they are GREAT and should be the exact opposite of artificial, unbalanced or dated!
