"Mmm your drink is lacking a face"
"your beefeater doesn't have enough character"
What the hell does that even mean? lines like this just make me cringe because nobody in real life would talk to a bartender like this. So pretty much, the difference between an average drink to an amazing one is either a slight change in temperature or whether it's stirred too much or too little.
In real life, yes this is a real thing. A drinks temperature can drastically change how the drink will taste but the way it's explained just seems so high-sounding. Bartending isn't some kind of craft you need to master where every drop counts and the temperature needs to be the exact temperature, it's just a job to serve alcohol but it's glorified too much.
Lets say, you're working a regular job like a cashier and a somebody tells you that you're lacking "a face" when serving customers, then starts telling you how you SHOULD be doing your job, they're being a pretentious asshole. It would be so much easier if they just said "your drink is too warm, that's why it tastes different" but no, they gotta say some eloquent nonsense to make it seem profound.
I had a feeling I would run into this kind of annoying behaviour when watching this show and I was right.
