They`d pour a bottle of Martini into a wine glass and plonk it down and I`d pour it on the counter and set fire to it and order a beer.

The problem's cocktails are not so much in vogue by the local clientele and the shaker can do several days on the shelf getting dusty.
Shooters are more in the trend!
