David Wolowidnyk is behind the bar, and you’ll always be rewarded with something special.
FIVE DRINKS THAT MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A DOUCHE:
1. Vodka tonic or vodka soda // You don’t like the taste of liquor? Fine, that’s what wine and beer are for. Don’t like them? Then get out of the bar.
2. A caesar // Unless it’s at breakfast or brunch.
3. A dry martini, shaken not stirred // You are not James Bond (James Bond wasn’t even James Bond), and you know what? Shaking ruins a good martini by clouding it with ice crystals.
4. A frozen margarita with Patrón // “Freezing” a margarita is bad enough, but adding the official tequila of rich frat boys makes it bad, squared.
5. Anything with cranberry juice // Unless you have the balls to order it in a sippy cup.
