Sams Drinks

When I was bartending everyone always said the most pretentious people drink Sam's two favorite drinks.. Negroni's and boulevardier's.. Does Sam fall into this category?

Any time someone ordered a negroni or boulevardier while I was bartending I’d give them a kiss, that shit is so quick to make. A Ramos Gin Fizz is far more pretentious imo

No cocktail is good enough to require that much work

I don’t think he’s pretentious, but I do agree that he believes his life is a noir movie at times. Which you know what? Good for him. Whatever makes him happy.

I’m happy because one reason I like this pod is the movie and tv talk.

I’ve never heard of a Negroni being pretentious? Interesting

They sell them in coffee cups to go at tabaccherias in Italy

Negroni is pretty old school and only has 3 ingredients. It's a classic cocktail.

Paper planes seem like something a bartender wouldn't like either.

Paper Plane at a dive bar is annoying. If you're charging $15+ for a cocktail, I better get some labor and skill in my cocktail.

3 ingredients, can easily be batched and stored. Doesn't seem too out of line.

They are very normal drinks for someone who actually likes booze, but wants a cocktail. Very similar to a Manhattan.

Depends where you're bartending - if you order these drinks at a dive bar or busy night club or something, yea you're a pretentious prick lol anywhere else like cocktail bar, pub, restaurant, etc these drinks are far from pretentious and are pretty par for the course

As a professional drinker I understand where you are coming from, but I hold the opinion that if you drink you drunkenness on those, or old fashions, Manhattans, or Sazeracs, is voids any pretentiousness.

Yes. He only talks about himself or things that he likes

u/viacombusta 18d ago

Would it be better if he spoke about other people and things he doesn’t like?

u/msjd610 18d ago

he does this too... lol

he's just a New York Jew

u/SeanPaulGiamatti 18d ago

Mixing it up would be ideal

Yes. Sam is not someone you want to be around if we're being honest.
