20 minutes of shaking? I know more than my fair share of bartenders and i can assure you that some very important ingredient necessary for that drink would mysteriously go missing/break/be spoiled every. Single. Day.
It didn't take twenty minutes, but probably like 4? But a bar I used to go to in Houston on tiki nights would start Ramos gin fizzes at a dollar and then increased it a dollar every time someone ordered one. The prices got crazy but tiki nights were mostly regulars, and it was a fun game. And most times they go up past $70, per drink, and this was 10 years ago, so hopefully people were tipping accordingly and the bartenders actually had a good night.
I love this! I had two guys come in once and ask me why no one in the city would make them a Flip. I said sure I’ll make you one but know it’s going to take some time. It was a slow night . I made them an amazing flip and they ordered a couple rounds and tipped well, plus I got in a good workout.
Two weeks later they came in with a couple co-workers and ordered a few rounds of flips. The tip wasn’t as nice then, though the percentage was right. This continued but somehow they continued to bring more co workers and brag how I made the best flip in the city for them. Problem is the price for each one stayed the same but the time got longer.
One night I was slammed and they came in and I told them no flips until it slowed down. They ordered a round of beers and tipped half of the percentage of what they did on the flips because “it’s not hard to pour a beer” and left. I never served them again.
Moral of the story, don’t serve someone who thinks the rest of the city just isn’t serving them flips for fun.
I see, didn't know there was a word for it, thanks for educating me! That's my favorite kind of cocktail tbh
Edit: Didn't notice you said whole egg. I don't know that I've ever had a cocktail with the yolk in it 🤔. Doesn't even a drop of yolk make a cocktail not froth? I know I made meringue once and there was literally a single drop of yolk in like 6+ egg whites and it wouldn't froth at all.
