“Why didn’t you catch that” Bartender Faces Peculiar Request: Mimosa Minus the Alcohol and Orange

In the bartending world, professionals often face various requests, some normal and others strange. A bartender named Tim had an unexpected experience due to an unusual order.

Every bartending shift brings a unique story. Tim, a bartender, had a memorable day because of a weird customer order.

The Unusual Request

Tim, a seasoned bartender, has witnessed a plethora of unique requests during his tenure. However, one particular day stood out when a woman approached him with a peculiar order.

She desired a mimosa but mentioned she was allergic to both its primary ingredients: alcohol and oranges.

This left Tim in a quandary. As he aptly put it, “The main ingredients of a mimosa are champagne, which is alcohol, and oranges. So is there something else I can get for you instead?”

Despite the apparent contradiction in her order, the customer persisted, “No, make me a mimosa.” This left Tim both flustered and intrigued.

Crafting the Perfect “Mimosa”

Determined to cater to the customer’s wishes, Tim proposed an alternative concoction. He suggested, “Did you want to do grapefruit juice, or lemon juice with club soda?”

However, the customer responded less than enthusiastic, as she retorted, “I don’t know why this is so hard. Just make me a mimosa without those two ingredients.”

Determined to cater to the customer’s wishes, Tim suggested alternatives like grapefruit juice or lemon juice combined with club soda. The customer, growing increasingly frustrated, insisted on her version of a mimosa.

However, when he presented it to the customer, she was taken aback and asked, “Where’s the mint?” Mint in a mimosa? That was a first for Tim.

Nevertheless, he added the mint, though he didn’t find the combination appealing. The customer’s verdict? “This is disgusting.”

A Revelation

The plot took a twist when a customer’s friend intervened, exclaiming, “Oh my God, Jenny, Don’t you mean a mojito?”

It turned out that the customer had intended to order a mojito all along. Recognizing her mistake, she apologized to Tim, who prepared an alcohol-free mojito. However, Jenny’s surprises didn’t end there.

After preparing the drink, Jenny took a sip and questioned the absence of alcohol. When reminded of her alleged allergies, she clarified, “It’s not that I have an allergy, I just don’t want to drink a bunch today.”

In the end, Tim prepared a traditional mojito for Jenny, who left him a modest 4% tip for his efforts.

Mimosa vs. Mojito

Mimosas and mojitos, while both refreshing, exhibit distinct differences in ingredients, origins, and occasions. A mimosa, primarily known as a brunch staple, combines chilled champagne with a splash of orange juice. ^[1]

Its simplicity is its charm, often associated with elegant morning gatherings. On the other hand, the mojito traces its roots to Cuba, bringing a fusion of white rum, lime juice, sugar, mint leaves, and soda water.

This drink is renowned for its refreshing minty kick, ideal for warm summer evenings. While mimosas are typically served in flutes to maintain the bubbly nature of champagne, mojitos find their home in highball glasses to accommodate muddled mint and ice.

A mimosa offers a fruity effervescence, whereas a mojito delights with its zesty and minty freshness. Whether you prefer mimosa’s citrusy elegance or mojito’s vibrant zest, both promise a delightful sip.
