I’m a bartender, and the hardest part of my job is to name cocktails. First, most of the best names are taken. Second, a good cocktail name should give the prospective drinker a sense of what the drink is going to be like, but all I can ever think of are obscure science-fiction characters. That’s what makes The Restraining Order such a great name. It might not technically be a cocktail, but you sure know what you’re going to get: a shot of Jim Beam and a slap in the face (yes, seriously). The servers at Roxy’s are of course always happy to indulge in what can only be considered one of the great American fantasies, at least in the service industry: the ability to assault a customer without losing your job.
