First, Jamie Robinson – a former bartender and current assistant food and beverage manager at Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort – urged customers to avoid a Long Island iced tea.

She told the outlet that it was a “big no-no, especially in a busy bar,” because it involves too many ingredients that make for a questionable mix.

“You’ll probably only order one or two unless you plan on ending up on the floor sometime in the evening,” Jamie said.

Next on her list of drinks to avoid were mojitos, which the expert described as “a labor of love, to say the least.”

She said that to “make a real mojito, it must involve hand-mixed limes and mint.”

White Russians also appeared on Jamie’s drinks to avoid on a busy evening due to the heavy cream required.

“Save your bartender the time of having to check if they have anything in the back, and avoid your stomach mixing dairy with whatever else you might want to drink that night,” she served.

Elsewhere, executive bartender Zulay Duran, who works at Taste My Aruba, advised customers to skip spicy margaritas.

“This is a specialized drink that requires careful execution, which is not feasible for most bartenders on a busy night,” she said, urging people to opt for a simple glass of wine.

Bar manager Aliz Meszasi, who works at The Fed at The Langham in Boston, also asked customers not to order a Bloody Mary on a night out – stressing it’s just a brunch drink.

Anything that contains protein – such as a gin fizz – is also not appropriate to order during busy periods, according to The Rum House’s head bartender, Nick Jackson.

He said it is “very labor intensive” and requires several minutes of preparation.

Additionally, Zach Pace, a beverage expert at Ten Rooms, said pina coladas are best reserved for the beach.

“Please don’t let the bartender light a blender while he’s in the middle of a crazy shift,” he begged.

Many experts agreed that Irish Coffee and Espresso Martinis should also be avoided, and potential customers should be told to get their caffeine fix at a cafe.

Sunshine Foss, founder and CEO of liquor store Happy Cork, asked customers to avoid layered shots that require multiple spirits.

“Bartenders are already under pressure to serve drinks quickly, ordering layered shots doesn’t make sense for anyone,” she said.

Last but not least, mixologist Joshua Lucas, of Kiki’s in California, advises bargoers not to order personalized drinks.

He said comically, “Be specific, but not a poet.”
