Sometimes people call upon me for advice, dating hints, cooking recipes .... in this case Jane asked my help with what to do if you don't like a cocktail you are served. OK so in all honesty, I had created a magnificent Negroni. Served in one of my House of Bols exclusive collection of Red-Light Bulbs (you get it, Amsterdam!).
So, as I started my soliloquy ... she became bored and spoke
"Constantine, can you just write this down for me?"
"Surely", says I.
What to do when the drink you are served is not to your liking?
Send it back!
Send it BACK!
If that is not possible then alter the ingredients. Identify what you don't like, e.g., not sweet enough; add some simple syrup or agave. Too sweet - add some lemon or other neutral ingredient.
You are a paying customer. Do not accept mediocrity. On Christmas Eve I observed two ladies add ice to their glasses of white wine, apparently warm.
for goodness sake, send the damn glass back. How else is the waiter
and bartender going to know their doing a poor job
