My GF watched it and all I could think of was how stupid it was they kept "deconstructing" cocktails

Imagine going to a bar and asking for a drink and then you have to wait 90 minutes for some smoking drink that has like $60 ingredients in it.

That is a thing. It’s called a cocktail bar. Although the wait time usually isn’t 90 minutes.

I mean I kindaaaa get this. I definitely wouldn’t wait 90 minutes and pay that much for a drink after.

But isn’t it the same with food? Yes you can say you don’t care about fancy dishes but it’s true that sometimes it’s worth paying for some specialty courses. And it’s not like you eat that all the time. Me and my friends, and especially me are cheap haha. I usually cook for myself and sometimes I’m just happy with McDonalds. But once a year or so we still go and find some good food experience.

But yeah idk. Then again food is still different than drinks.

This would be more akin to a Salt Bae version of "fine dining"

They aren't making up drinks from scratch in an actual craft cocktail bar. All the prep work is done, it's primarily just mixing the drink. It takes 5 minutes at most to smoke a drink after it's in the glass. 10 to 20 min wait for the drink depending on other orders coming in.

Still hella expensive though.

And all that despite good Craft Gin or Whiskey tasting way better than those cocktails on it's own.
