Summary
A New Jersey bartender, Alix Macolino, shared a video about a customer who ordered a sidecar but didn’t know what it contained. The customer insisted that Grand Marnier was a cognac, leading to a debate with Macolino. Another bartender intervened and explained the drink’s ingredients, and the customer eventually chose a cognac for his drink. Macolino also shared other strange drink orders she’s received, including a woman who ordered a Grey Goose martini without vermouth and then complained that something was off.
