I think y'all are saying the same thing.
But there is not an upcharge for a mixed drink with ice I am sure.
They are not charging for the ice. They are charging for the extra half ounce of liquor poured over rocks with no mixer.

Afro:
A mixed drink =/= on the rocks
on the rocks = liquor ONLY over ice
on the rocks = 2 oz pour
mixed drink = 1.5 oz pour + mixer (coke, juice, water, tonic, etc.)

His point is, it may not be termed as such, but in effect it still is. Have you ever seen a Jack and Coke without ice? Ergo, why would a place upcharge a rocks drink that doesn't include Coke and not one that does? It's bizarre.

They don't

I skewed the conversation. Might have confused him.
I could say with a high degree of certainty that the bartenders aren't instructed to pour a bigger pour on mixed drinks on the rocks vs straight liquor on the rocks.

I can't order a crown n coke on the rocks? That's new.
Is this a joke? It would be a redundant order.

I don't believe this to be any sort of universally understood standard.
I'd bet my arse that they aren't making such a precise distinction here between what they're upcharging and what they're not.

This. This whole thread is dumb.

You didn't confuse me. Who orders a crown and coke on the rocks? That sounds like something a 16 year old would do to sound cool. Mixed drinks come with ice. There is no need to say on the rocks. The ice is not what is being charged a dollar for.

The ONLY time people say something like that is if they want a martini on the rocks as opposed to up.

So you served minors? I have never heard that in my adult life. Who serves mixed drinks without ice?

Cranberry n Vodka. Up or on the rocks? I know I sure specified things like that before making for customers.
Posted on 12/17/13 at 9:52 am to Neauxla
none of this changes the fact that walk ons has over priced bad food

Again you obviously don't know much about me or my cooking.
