Do you have a bar order? Well, maybe it’s time to reconsider.

Because expert bartenders and mixologists from across the US have revealed 10 drinks you should never order at a crowded bar.

Expert mixologists told Business Insider about the concoctions customers are afraid to ask for, as well as the reasons why.

The list of banned products includes some popular brands – so how is your tip worth it?

First, Jamie Robinson — a former bartender and current assistant food and beverage manager at the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort — urged diners to avoid Long Island Iced Tea.

She told the outlet it was a “big no-no, especially in a busy bar” because it contains too many ingredients that make up the questionable concoction.

“You’ll probably only order one or two unless you plan on ending up on the floor sometime during the evening,” Jamie stated.

Next on her list of drinks to avoid was the mojito, which the expert described as “a labor of love, to say the least”.

She said that to make a ‘proper mojito it should contain hand-squeezed limes and mint.’

White Russians also appeared on Jamie’s drinks to avoid on a busy night for the requisite heavy cream.

“You save your bartender the time of having to go check if they have any in the back, and you save your stomach from mixing dairy with whatever else you might be drinking that night,” she said.

Elsewhere, executive bartender Zulay Duran, who works at Taste My Aruba, advised customers to skip the spicy margaritas.

What not to order according to the bartenders

1. Long Island Iced Tea
2. Mojito
3. White Russian
4. Spicy margarita
5. Blood Mary
6. Anything that contains egg white
7. Piña colada
8. Irish coffee or espresso martini
9. Layered shots
10. Personalized drinks order

“This is a specialized drink that requires careful execution, which is not feasible for most bartenders on a busy night,” she said, urging people to choose a simple glass of wine instead.

Bar manager Aliz Meszasi, who works for The Fed at The Langham in Boston, also asked customers to avoid ordering a Bloody Mary in the evening – she insisted it was only a brunch drink.

Anything with egg whites in it – such as a gin fizz – is also not a good idea to order during busy periods, according to The Rum House head barman Nick Jackson.

He said it was “very labor intensive” and required several minutes of preparation.

Besides, Ten Rooms beverage expert Zach Pace said pina coladas are best reserved for the beach.

“Please don’t make the bartender fire up the mixer in the middle of the crazy service,” he pleaded.

Many experts agreed that Irish coffees and espresso martinis should also be avoided – telling potential customers to get their caffeine fix at a coffee shop instead.

Sunshine Foss, founder and CEO of boutique liquor store Happy Cork, asked customers to avoid layered shots that require more spirits.

“Bartenders are already under pressure to serve drinks quickly, ordering layered shots just doesn’t make sense for anyone,” she said.

Last but not least, mixologist Joshua Lucas of Kiki’s in California advises bar-goers not to order personalized drinks.

He comically said, ‘Be specific, but not a poet.’
