Tom Mix
Do drinkers now drink less “traditional” mixed drinks like martinis and “tom collins”?
And instead drink more just whatever liquor plus some sort of soft drink as the mix? I would think this is true.
Generally, I think you are probably right. I know several people who prefer one of the traditional mixed drinks, but most people drink it straight or with a mixer like Coke.
My husband is very fond of Rob Roys, and has those from time to time, but he usually orders a beer (we have a lot of microbreweries here, and there is some really glorious local beer on tap in restaurants), or a Rum and Coke. I know one person who prefers a Martini, and another who prefers a Gibson, but other than that most people, myself included, drink shots or something with a soft drink mixer. Also, I know a lot of people who are really interested in wine, and trying to learn about good wines, so I know quite a few wine drinkers.
One of my best friends was a bartender for about four years. He did not attend bartending school first, he just learned on the fly. He had a bar book with a ton of recipes, and in the entire time he tended bar, he said he literally made just a handful of the traditional drinks.
I think people try to be fashionable, as well. I actually prefer a Cuba Libre, which is a Rum and Coke with lime, and no one, when I order one, knows how to make it. They do offer me Mojitos, though. I tell them that if I liked mint, I’d ask for mint, and they have no clue what I am talking about. But it’s a really popular drink right now–I think some people think of alcohol as an accessory–it should be something you enjoy. I know people who drink Appletinis (apple martinis) because they think it’s “cool” to order them, or “sophisticated.” That cracks me up. Ordering something you don’t like to drink and paying $7 for it isn’t sophisticated–it’s stupid.
