And do they serve it with no vermouth? Getting them to make in 5/1 or
4/1 gin/vermouth is hard labor. And when done it's usually the
unpleasant M&R Extra Dry.

I also prefer it stirred instead of shaken, because I don't like shards
of ice in the drink.

One bartender managed to do everything correctly but for a "lemon
twist" they took a fully-pithed chunk of lemon, smeared the pith around
the rim and dropped the thing in. I fished it out quickly, but
really--do I have to explain what a lemon twist is to a friggin'
bartender?

Yes; yes I do!
