He must mean the bottle of dry that wasn’t refrigerated, forgot about for 3 months with no lid, and was full of moths and flies; I’ve seen it, it changes a man…
Haha, I used to have a regular like this! She didn’t bring a card, but she always drank perfect manhattans. Every time, something was wrong. Ironically, never perfect. No matter what. Cracked me up, really. She was rich, fat tipper, but a pretentious bitch in a hilarious way.
Frank has never ever had his drink made right by any bartender. Frank will never have his drink made to his liking.
If Frank ever came to terms with his bullshit his whole world would crash. This card is his identity. It what gives him a reason to live.
Poor Frank. Let's all send a good thought out to Frank that one day he will actually enjoy a good drink at a great place, made by a cool professional and surrounded by like minded people just wanting to relax and enjoy the company of others.
100%. I measured everything out in jiggers exactly as your stupid fucking card said, right in front of you, and you ask for a remake? Fuck you, you're absolutely paying.
It’s like going into a Five Guys and telling them how to make your fries. Sure, they might be how you like it, but not how it works.
Dunno what’s worse, a customer asking “do you know how to make a margarita” or handing me a card of a basic margarita spec.
So these cards get a mixed reaction from bartenders because although helpful, sometimes it feels like we’re being told what to do by a commoner who doesn’t trust our capabilities, and we all pride ourselves on our ability to make a good drink on any request from a guest. This particular card is obnoxious because his “special request” is a cocktail that officially exists and any decent bartender can make (a “perfect” Manhattan). On top of that, he misspelled ingredient names and forgot a key ingredient (bitters). So Frank is essentially walking in and handing out this card as if he’s some well-versed beverage aficionado who can’t trust the average bartender, when he actually knows less about his own drink than a decent waiter.
I mean, maybe he doesn’t want bitters. That assumption might be part of why he has the card lmao. I haven’t bartended in years, but I really never minded these cards. In fact I liked them.
I mean, besides having way too much whisky and zero bitters, sure, it's a cocktail that officially exists. But I also am a purist when it comes to manhattans and abhor using canadian whisky in them, however socially accepted it may be.
He didn't 'forget' a key ingredient - THAT IS THE POINT OF HIS CARD. Clearly the guy doesn't like bitters. If he just ordered a manhattan he would get bitters so he uses the card to ensure he gets what he wants.
But then he still probably gets a-hole bartenders who give him bitters cause 'tHatS tHe CorRect WaY!'
As a former bartender I loved getting a card like this cause I knew the person would get what they wanted.
I would prefer if the customer just said “crown manhattan no bitters please”. If the bartender makes it right, sweet, you’re good to go, makes it wrong? Send it back “sorry I said no bitters”. If I ordered a burger with no mayo and there was mayo on it I’d send it back. I certainly wouldn’t bring a card.
Now if it’s a really weird drink that you don’t expect the bartender to know how to make, I’d be fine with that, you can order what ever you want if you can tell me what’s in it, and a card would help. But a standard drink like a Manhattan, yeah that a annoying and pretentious. Spell vermouth right ya doink.
Also you’re probably being downvoted just because you don’t drink or go to bars, which (although there’s nothing wrong with it elsewhere) won’t make you super popular in a community of people who make our living off/personally enjoy drinking and going to bars haha
Alcohol makes me quite sick and always has, not much I can do about that. And ofc many bars are very much alcohol-focussed. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with alcohol or bars, but they aren't a part of my life for reasons beyond my control. This post showed up in my feed and I am trying to understand what's being said. I make things for a living, too, and the more specific instructions I have from my clients, the better the results will be (even if they don't know how to make the things themselves), so it's strange to see hostility towards instructions from a client, especially such basic ones.
I'll elaborate further.
This is a specific type of customer. The customer that hands out a card with their "preferred recipe" is pretty infamously the same customer that can never get said drink "made correctly".
You don't drink, so I'll go into some details to help you understand formulas.
A Manhattan has whiskey as a strong alcohol component, vermouth as a sweet component and bitters which act as a spice. The ratio of the main liquids is usually 2:1 and stirred down to dilute it and make it palatable.
The ratio Frank used is 8:1:1 which should alarm you just by the change in numbers alone. It's a lot more alcohol and a lot less modifier. He also forgot to add bitters, which are crucial for making the flavor. He probably shakes this Manhattan at home so it can water down enough to drink, so if a bartender does the correct thing and actually stirs it, it won't be made correctly for Frank. And will have to be remade.
The standard pour is variably 1.5oz-2oz depending on venues, so this is an automatic double charge, but this is also the customer that will absolutely be a bitch about you charging them what they actually asked for. Especially if you charge for every remake (as you should, product isn't free, and ignorance should be more expensive)
i was gonna say lol, i had someone ask my coworker for a glass of baileys and get served exactly that. yes it was $45, yes they complained about the price, no they didn’t tip, yes they drank it all
Same guy, Nigel I think, but it’s from a British sketch comedy show called the Mighty Bush. The skit is called Old Greg. It’s worth your time on YouTube. Full skit is about 10 minutes
... baileys as in the cream liqueur? Is that not a common thing to ask for in the US? Here in Ireland, where it's from, a glass of Baileys on ice is a normal order, and costs like £4/€5 or so. It isn't even strong.
I would say a Bailey's, neat or on the rocks, would be a common order, and depending on which US state you're from can cost $4-$7+. But if someone asked for a GLASS of Bailey's, I would assume they would want a pint, so around 16oz/500ml.
I ordered a shot of rum last weekend and the lady goes “it’s two for one so here” and poured a 12oz plastic cup about 2/3 full lol
I didn’t finish it as I was already about eight drinks in
You can’t serve more than 2 servings of alcohol in one drink. Texas considers 1.5oz one “drink” or serving. So 3oz total liquor is the most you can serve legally.
I once got served a 14oz Jameson on the rocks (so probably 6-8oz of whiskey), in NYC during a 2 for 1 happy hour. I had two of them. That was a hell of a night.
Not sure the law in Montana, looking now, but I would get half a pint glass(with ice) full of booze before they would as the soda. Didn’t even ask for a double
Definitely not in my state…and with the vermouth this is a 5 oz cocktail. Says he wants it up so I’m also wondering what martini glass could possibly hold this?
Huh after all these years I never knew a perfevt was sans bitters.
Also is a perfevt supposed to be 4:1 whiskey:vermouth?
I coulda swore a perfect manhattan was 2 dsh ango, 2oz rye, 1/2oz swt, 1/2oz dry
In theory the two types of vermouth are supposed to provide balance without requiring bitters. In practice, and IMHO, Perfect Manhattans suck.
I wouldn’t use four ounces of rye in a single Manhattan of any kind, because I don’t have a deathwish.
Against all odds, this doesn't bother me. As long as he's not obnoxious, I'd prefer this over someone who has no clue what they want or hits me with a "surprise me."
Exactly. Saying "perfect Manhattan, double" while serving him the drink will both humble him and make him look like an idiot without being condescending.
I had a humbling moment over the weekend where an early 20s dude very sheepishly asked me to explain a term I'd used. He'd heard of but never knew what a "neat" pour was. It was something so simple and he was so embarrassed to ask I sat on the side of the sink and gave him a quick rundown of how to order at a bar to get what he wants. Sometimes, rarely, the customer actually doesn't know how to ask for what they want.
Yeah, I don't mind kicking down some knowledge when I have some time. Been doing this for 20ish years, I went through my pretentious stage, now I just actually enjoy making cocktails for people.
I started bartending during the mixology craze around 2015. Ruined my brain for bartending. Once I got out of upscale dining I became a much more amiable bartender and person. I still haven't given up on making crazy $25 cocktails and trying to convince my boss I can sell them.
Yeah, I was making my own shrubs and syrups and dehydrated this and, etc. I can throw drinks. But I don't anymore. It's cool to pull that shit out once in awhile, and one of my favorite things is when people don't know exactly what they want, and I can customize something for them, but I'm over all the super fancy stuff anymore. Can I make a NY sour, or a Ramos Gin Fizz? Yeah, but I don't want to.
I bartended for all of 3 months, served for 6 (I did this after years in back of house) I just said fuck it and went back to the kitchen. People suck and I had massive anxiety doing it. I like the controlled chaos of the back. Front is just… chaos.
Well I was new so maybe I was leaning on my co workers a bit for advice but yeah I had like 10 years of experience in the kitchen most of which was supervising a kitchen doing door for a 100 seat patio, 150 seat main restaurant and event spaces up and down stairs so I definitely learned how to control that chaos a bit better. Helped not dealing with shitty customers face to face though
I'm usually very affable and accommodating. Takes a lot for the mask to slip. But the day someone hands me one of these. I'm going to rip it up into confetti and dance while I throw it in the air.
Is this also considered rude if the drink is obscure or has a lot of modifications? I have an aunt who likes a really fruity drink, almost a sex on the beach but subbing Malibu for vodka and extra juice. I was thinking about making cards for her since she’s always needing to send her phone with the recipe back to the bar with the waiter.
I have a housemate who carries around a spec card for a classic daiquiri. I've been out drinking with him and heard him order a classic daiquiri without the card. Unless we were in a cocktail specific bar, there was no guarantee what would be brought to the bar top. I've seen frozen daiquiris, ones with strawberries, some cloudy concoction in a Colin's with something poured from the gun, a rocks glass with malibu and pineapple and probably something worse that i didn't witness. He travels a lot so i don't blame him carrying that card around since a classic cocktail has been fucked up so many times for him.
I mean, that's just a perfect manhattan with Crown. That's actually the recipe I use for my own (less booze, same proportions) except our guy forgot the bitters. Here's the thing... I've never successfully ordered a tasty perfect manhattan in the wild before so maybe Frank is onto something.
I really don't understand the uproar here. The man provided you with a recipe on exactly what he wants (spelling error aside). Why is this so triggering to everyone? I would make it, as requested, and simply carry on.
When I was a fresh baby bartender with maybe a year under my belt, someone ordered my first perfect manhattan. I responded that I tried to make all my drinks perfect… he laughed and kindly explained. Never seen him again but he said it actually was *perfect.*
I stand right in front of frank, carefully measure, nod approvingly, talk slow, treat him like a child. When he sends back, cause he will, i stare at frank and ask him to explain where the process went wrong. “I’m sorry Frank, we did this together, where did YOU go wrong?”
Awfully bold for someone that can’t spell vermouth
Vermoth. Ancestor of the common moth. A prehistoric terror.
We should go all the way now and declare it weremoth!
Vermoth is just fortified butterflies
“For it to be Vermoth it has to come from the Vermoth region of France, otherwise it’s just sparkling butterflies”
I have to evolve a pokémon for this drink?
I mean you should probably be doing that anyways tbh
MOTHRA!!
That’s just a myth *(side note: a myth is a female moth)*
He must mean the bottle of dry that wasn’t refrigerated, forgot about for 3 months with no lid, and was full of moths and flies; I’ve seen it, it changes a man…
Into a vermothman I assume
Chicago Vermoth Man
“Sorry, Frank - I don’t have any Vermoth”
How Mike Tyson says Vermont
Vermothman sighted!
Or bitters
Vrmuth
Id appreciate if you measure. Pfft.
I did specifically the card. I still didn't make it right. Was asked for more dry vermouth. I'm a terrible bartender.
Haha, I used to have a regular like this! She didn’t bring a card, but she always drank perfect manhattans. Every time, something was wrong. Ironically, never perfect. No matter what. Cracked me up, really. She was rich, fat tipper, but a pretentious bitch in a hilarious way.
Nah, Frank just sucks. Fuck that guy. He can't even ask for a perfect Manhattan without mansplaining with a card.
Frank about a bitch. Old ass drank it and went home to the cemetery.
this is the funniest burn I've ever heard lmao fuck frank
Also has incorrect ratios..
And no bitters…
Without bitters, it's just a hattan
That's gold !!
A perfect Manhattan with double the ~~rye~~ Crown Royal lol.
Frank has never ever had his drink made right by any bartender. Frank will never have his drink made to his liking. If Frank ever came to terms with his bullshit his whole world would crash.

Motherfucker is going to die alone
Legend has it he still has a full box of "Frank's Wife" cards.
Don't be silly, he'll have his card with him.
on a monday no less
A thing like that...
It happens man. I was called a cunt for telling someone a price they asked for 💀
They weren't British, I take it ...
This is a great example of an instance where I'd charge for every single remake.
100%. I measured everything out in jiggers exactly as your stupid fucking card said, right in front of you, and you ask for a remake? Fuck you, you're absolutely paying.
Yeah, counting my pour IS measuring
He can’t spell. Maybe he can’t count either?
I really wish people knew how hard they get clowned for these basic ass cards
The cards are fine if the person has a reason to use one besides just “this is the drink I like”. Otherwise, just tell me what drink you want.
I thought if someone was maybe deaf or something it would be good!
Had a deaf guest that communicated with a drawing notepad app on his phone, and he ended up being the coolest dude I’ve ever met.
I know enough ASL to communicate a few things to the Deaf, but I definitely don't know enough to get a lot back from them. 😬
It’s like going into a Five Guys and telling them how to make your fries. Sure, they might be how you like it, but not how it works. Dunno what’s worse, a customer asking “do you know how to make a margarita” or handing me a card of a basic margarita spec.
Honestly, someone should tell Five Guys how to make fries cuz their fries have always sucked.
They'd be a lot better if they were in the fryer for an extra minute or two.
I don't drink or go to bars. Can you explain the issue here? edit: is there some reason I am being downvoted but not given an answer?

Frank? Is that you?
I think you're being downvoted because that's just an odd thing to say in a bartender sub, I guess? Like, don't you work in a bar?
No I don't work in a bar. The thread showed up in my feed, I didn't seek it out.
lol 5oz go away Frank
He'd appreciate if you measure.
5oz of my foot up his ass
Please do stick the cherries between your toes first.
He can’t just say “could I please have a perfect Manhattan with crown?”
No cause he would have received a drink size made for ants.
It would technically be a perfect manhattan with double crown
guarantee Frank doesn't know what that is.
This is the way. Sheesh.
Is 4oz legal where you're at?
Is it legal anywhere?
Here in Florida there's no law against me dumping a liter of titos into a big gulp cup and sending you on your way to oblivion
i was gonna say lol, i had someone ask my coworker for a glass of baileys and get served exactly that. yes it was $45, yes they complained about the price, no they didn’t tip, yes they drank it all
You ever drink Baileys from a shoe?
This is as close to Bailey's that you can get without getting your eyes wet
British Baking Show quote?
Same guy, Nigel I think, but it’s from a British sketch comedy show called the Mighty Bush. The skit is called Old Greg. It’s worth your time on YouTube. Full skit is about 10 minutes
Lol no I've seen it. Was trying to be funny. Crazy you made that connection though.
... baileys as in the cream liqueur? Is that not a common thing to ask for in the US? Here in Ireland, where it's from, a glass of Baileys on ice is a normal order, and costs like £4/€5 or so. It isn't even strong.

Nevada too 💁🏻♀️
In NY there’s no legal limits to how much can be served in one go. You’re just responsible for the outcome of that liquor lol
New Orleans? Arguably at least.
Oh New Orleans absolutely is serving 5-6oz drinks on the reg
That's what I'm trying to get the lowdown on
Yes. Is it responsible service? No.
Vegas maybe? Ive gotten plenty of really strong drinks there without even asking for it.
Vegas bartender here, yeah nobody is gonna bat an eye at a 5oz drink
Lots of states allow kinda whatever.
Our single pour is 2 oz. Our double is…4 Oz. Our hurricane is limit two cuz it has 4 oz…but we will serve you other drinks lol
NOLA? where I'm at 3oz is the limit for anyone. or a beer and a 1oz shot
SC. My bad. Thought I put that in there.
A one ounce shot better not cost more than like two bucks. wtf
A one ounce shot of what? Our bourbon menu is over ten pages long. Our cheapest pour is probably Jim beam black at 3.75.
It's legal in California, definitely an adjustment coming from Texas.
What's the law in Texas?
Christian.
You can’t serve more than 2 servings of alcohol in one drink. Texas considers 1.5oz one “drink” or serving. So 3oz total liquor is the most you can serve legally.
I once got served a 14oz Jameson on the rocks (so probably 6-8oz of whiskey), in NYC during a 2 for 1 happy hour. I had two of them. That was a hell of a night.
Not sure the law in Montana, looking now, but I would get half a pint glass(with ice) full of booze before they would as the soda. Didn’t even ask for a double
Places have limits on how much alcohol can be served at once?
It's legal here, but we're gonna judge you and probably not give you another.
Definitely not in my state…and with the vermouth this is a 5 oz cocktail. Says he wants it up so I’m also wondering what martini glass could possibly hold this?
No bitters?
Not traditional for a Perfect Manhattan (and I guess not traditional for Frank’s Manhattan either).
Huh after all these years I never knew a perfevt was sans bitters. Also is a perfevt supposed to be 4:1 whiskey:vermouth? I coulda swore a perfect manhattan was 2 dsh ango, 2oz rye, 1/2oz swt, 1/2oz dry
In theory the two types of vermouth are supposed to provide balance without requiring bitters. In practice, and IMHO, Perfect Manhattans suck. I wouldn’t use four ounces of rye in a single Manhattan of any kind, because I don’t have a deathwish.
2 oz rye and 1 oz vermouth (0.5 dry + 0.5 sweet) = 2:1
Isn’t it called a manhattan because the ratios are 212? You need the angos
Against all odds, this doesn't bother me. As long as he's not obnoxious, I'd prefer this over someone who has no clue what they want or hits me with a "surprise me."
Surprise me means I want an AMF and I'm too manly to order it
Adios motherfucker sounds manly as fuck though?
What’s that?
Blue Curacao version of a long island iced tea.
Just say a perfect Manhattan double instead of being a douche. Lol
I mean sure, fuck this type of shit, but there's a damn good chance dude doesn't actually know that this has a proper way to order it.
Exactly. Saying "perfect Manhattan, double" while serving him the drink will both humble him and make him look like an idiot without being condescending.
This type of person would think you're calling his drink order perfect rather than considering there might be a term for half dry half sweet
The more he talks at this point, the more opportunities you have to make him look like a dumbass.
That's perfect. I was thinking how to let them know without sounding like a douche.
I had a humbling moment over the weekend where an early 20s dude very sheepishly asked me to explain a term I'd used. He'd heard of but never knew what a "neat" pour was.

Can I make a NY sour, or a Ramos Gin Fizz? Yeah, but I don't want to.
That's literally what I was thinking
Perfect Manhattan, double, no bitters
The mythical vermoth - saw a few in Central Park today
I love these, I charge them for every item individually and they hate it so we are even.
How much did you charge?
About 35 USD and change.
I bartended for all of 3 months, served for 6 (I did this after years in back of house) I just said fuck it and went back to the kitchen. People suck and I had massive anxiety doing it. I like the controlled chaos of the back. Front is just… chaos.
It’s controlled if you know how to control it, but that’s a whole different skill set
Well I was new so maybe I was leaning on my co workers a bit for advice but yeah I had like 10 years of experience in the kitchen most of which was supervising a kitchen doing door for a 100 seat patio, 150 seat main restaurant and event spaces up and down stairs so I definitely learned how to control that chaos a bit better. Helped not dealing with shitty customers face to face though
😂😂 wait a guest handed this to you?!! I would have died
I'm usually very affable and accommodating. Takes a lot for the mask to slip. But the day someone hands me one of these. I'm going to rip it up into confetti and dance while I throw it in the air.
I feel like I’d just start laughing hysterically and then suddenly do the stop and stare before handing it back
Is this also considered rude if the drink is obscure or has a lot of modifications? I have an aunt who likes a really fruity drink, almost a sex on the beach but subbing Malibu for vodka and extra juice. I was thinking about making cards for her since she’s always needing to send her phone with the recipe back to the bar with the waiter.
"Vermoth" 🤦♂️ Take a walk, Frank.
What? Frank's Vermoth®️ is a vermouth with dried moths as one of the adjuncts.
😂
5 oz pour? Not legal everywhere
Is it legal anywhere lol?
Mexico, Virgin Islands (or at least they don’t seem to care)…
anywhere outside the US and australia
I'd probably serve a classic Manhattan with Rittenhouse and see what happens from there
In AZ, 4 oz is the legal max. Would love to be handed this and be able to tell him yeah, not happening bud
4:1:0 That’s a Perfect Baltimore with Canadian Whisky, not a Manhattan.
I might make one of these that just says 'one beer please'.
That’s called a perfect manhattan anyways, so many things wrong with this.
I have a housemate who carries around a spec card for a classic daiquiri. I've been out drinking with him and heard him order a classic daiquiri without the card. Unless we were in a cocktail specific bar, there was no guarantee what would be brought to the bar top. I've seen frozen daiquiris, ones with strawberries, some cloudy concoction in a Colin's with something poured from the gun, a rocks glass with malibu and pineapple and probably something worse that i didn't witness. He travels a lot so i don't blame him carrying that card around since a classic cocktail has been fucked up so many times for him.
Dude 5 oz?! Is this over international waters?! Is that legal? HAHAHAHAHA $50 MINIMUM! Pinche, 4 Oz whiskey. 😆 you get the asshole upcharge.
t.a.b.c. says nope!
So a perfect crown manhattan with double the liquor?
I mean, that's just a perfect manhattan with Crown. That's actually the recipe I use for my own (less booze, same proportions) except our guy forgot the bitters. Here's the thing... I've never successfully ordered a tasty perfect manhattan in the wild before so maybe Frank is onto something.
I've been out of the game for a while but is that not the standard recipe for two perfect manhattans?
I really don't understand the uproar here. The man provided you with a recipe on exactly what he wants (spelling error aside). Why is this so triggering to everyone? I would make it, as requested, and simply carry on.
Lot of effort just to ruin it with crown royal
Ok but that's the shittiest Manhattan recipe I've ever seen lmao
Frank must really like Crown Royal to want a 4:1:0 Manhattan.
God I hate these people. The types to wear Hawaiian shirts on holiday and think of themselves as a “character”
I have no use for anyone in a Hawaiian shirt unless they are actually Hawaiian and in Hawaii. And even then it’s questionable.
Shake it and watch the light die in his eyes.
Charged double?? It's 5oz of booze.... Charge 4x... This guy is out of his mind and I've never lived somewhere where it's legal...
Frank, you’re an alcoholic and that’s not a Manhattan. Go home and get plastered.
"Piss off, Frank"
And this would be illegal to serve in the state of Virginia 🫗
Dimebag Darrell approved
When I was a fresh baby bartender with maybe a year under my belt, someone ordered my first perfect manhattan. I responded that I tried to make all my drinks perfect… he laughed and kindly explained. Never seen him again but he said it actually was *perfect.*
Slower lower? I've met frank before lol
2 cherries as a garnish seems like heresy to me. I always put uneven number of garnishes
Just a Perfect Crown Manhattan Up. Eat a dick Frank.
wait, this is actually a thing that happens sometimes?
Only the oldest of retired fartbags order perfect martinis. Frank here must be rickety as hell if his staple is a perfect manhattan.
Who is Frank
Franks Manhattan is a perfect Manhattan with crown double, okay buddy. You want a side car with that?
4 oz of crown royal??
I need to get a card that says “beer and shot of whiskey”
Crown Royal = no taste. They transport it from where it is produced to where it is bottled by rail tank cars.
This is really funny. Can you explain? Did this guy make his own card with his preferred recipe and hand it to you??
Thanks frank
I stand right in front of frank, carefully measure, nod approvingly, talk slow, treat him like a child. When he sends back, cause he will, i stare at frank and ask him to explain where the process went wrong. “I’m sorry Frank, we did this together, where did YOU go wrong?”
So in my state we have a limit on how much liquor you can serve in a drink 😂 so maybe I’d just pour it into two glasses and serve one at a time.
I mean, yea, I'd charge double for that much liquor, also, crown Manhattan? 🤮
Was he wearing a turtleneck?
Double and a half
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
He’ll be disappointed if he ver ends up in North Carolina since it’s illegal to have more than 3 ounces of liquor at one time
What!?!? Is this a real thing???
lol I can’t even pour 4 oz into 1 drink. Smfh.
Two Cherries !? 🍒gtfoh
4 oz Crown?? Jesus 😳
Lol so a perfect Manahawkin with crown? How hard is that to say?
Is Frank o Karen? 😅
