Cocktail Q & A - Tall Drinks
Hi Barkeep, is it customary to charge extra when someone orders a “tall” cocktail. I always thought that a tall meant more mix, not more alcohol, so what’s with the extra $? Greed?

A: This seems to cause quite a bit of confusion and I cannot find a good definition. I have a feeling this varies from bartender to bartender as to what they think a “tall drink” is. Best, to let the barkeep know what you are looking for in a tall drink. It may seem less cool, but you won’t be surprised at what you get.
Cheers!

Lets deconfuse - just name it double - a double g&t means, that you get the double amount of alcohol - right?
Even it doesn’t mean, that only alcohol have a cost! If you want to drink a long drink rather than a cocktail, you could have fresh juices (and other artisan chaser) in the glass - and everything but the cheap-canned-semi-juices-sodas costs money…
