Hard disagree on this unless you’re a finance bro who knows exactly 4 cocktails. If I tell you I want something gin-based and herbaceous don’t just give me a Last Word, I could fucking make that at home.

you gotta be comfortable saying no and that isn't what you wanted. I rejected two drinks while my bartender was dialing it in, one because I can make it at home (aviation) and one because it was too sweet (forget what it was) and after that I had three amazing drinks I'd never had before and never would have had otherwise. Could also vary depending on your bartender I guess.
