What does your drink order REALLY say about you?

After 25 years behind the bar, I've developed a few opinions about the people ordering certain drinks. And apparently, so has everybody else sitting at the bar.

This episode was inspired by three customers who'd spent the day drinking Long Island Iced Teas and decided to order their next round without Coke. Nobody asked why, but everybody had an opinion.

And that got me thinking: How much do bartenders judge people based on what they're drinking?

In Episode 21 of $1 Is Not Enough, we're taking a sarcastic look at the personalities, stereotypes, and ridiculous requests associated with some of the most popular drinks.

From sophisticated Old Fashioned drinkers and overly particular martini enthusiasts to tequila lovers, craft beer snobs, and customers who think asking for light ice means getting free liquor, nobody's completely safe.

We'll also explore the difference between what bartenders politely say to customers and what we're actually thinking.

But underneath the sarcasm is something 25 years in hospitality has taught me: Your drink might create the first impression, but how you treat people reveals who you really are.

Whether you're a bartender who's heard every ridiculous order imaginable or a customer who's wondering what your favorite cocktail says about you, this episode is for you.

What's the one drink order that immediately makes you judge somebody?
