A little birdie sends in an article about UVA Gossip sites.… I always wonder why the Cav Daily staff can’t produce better articles. They totally miss some obvious things.

Mas‘ Tomas (we think) chimes in on one of our most disagreed upon posts about asking bartenders to take back drinks based on the customer’s tastes.
recommendations are the lingua franca of restaurants and a good bartender understands that. if he/she makes a recommendation, or suggests a signature drink, you are within your rights to send it back if it doesn’t match your expectations or the bartender’s description. individual preferences for strength and potency aside, a well-made cocktail should be a delight, not a harrowing challenge to finish. a good cocktail is like good sex - both partners know if it’s good, both know when something is amiss. however, if you catch a bad one, or one just poorly mixed, don’t lie and say it’s great or you have never felt like this before. have the bartender taste it too. feedback is the second best tip you can leave an establishment, even if it hurts their feelings. sure, bartenders are always busy and don’t always have time to hold your hand as you experiment with alcohol or beverages you are unfamiliar with. stick with the basics, then, after you have established some level of trust with that bartender, let them take you where you’ve never been before. there should be respite in your nepenthe.
