When I went to the Jameson Distillery in Ireland a few weeks back, the bartenders gave us complimentary whiskey ginger ale lime drinks and it was so refreshing I think I will make it my drink of choice for now on! When I order it at a bar back home in the US or any other bar around the world, how do I ask for it? Do I just ask for a whiskey ginger lime? TIA!

I have made a drink and most of the people that come to my bar says its good and I want an opinion, essentially the drink is a pineapple daiquiri but with a bit of a twist. Here’s the recipe and the name, would love some feedback.
Sunset Blondie
45ml white rum
20ml elderflower syrup
10-15 ml simple syrup
20ml lime
And a top up of pineapple juice
Served in a collins glass with a sugar rim and as garnish I usually use 4 peach rings gummies

Hello all, I'm a bartender in a small town in the smallest locals only bar. I have this regular he is a guy that's brilliant but has known problems with his drinking and gambling, he has filled out a voluntary ban from gambling with me however Tonight he said a few things that bothered me. Now a bit of background this guy bob (not his real name) is a problem drinker he will drink until cut off then continue to either another bar or go home and drink. Tonight he was the last one in while I was closing up, he started talking really negatively hitting all the trigger phrases for so someone thinking of suicide, he has expressed in the past that he knows of his problem and we at the bar have tried to look after him by limiting what he can drink. I.E he isn't allowed spirits. I've already spoken to all the people I can to make sure they look out for him but what else can I do for him and what should I do in future. He has a wife and kids and I can't keep watching him tear himself apart, he has such a brilliant mind but is just wasting away at the bar.

I know, usually always is. Tips have been so ass. Anyone else been slower lately? It hasn’t been awful but definitely just summer slow down. NC for location reference and the weather has been weird so I’m sort of curious about other states too!
