I became a fan of umbrella drinks and I’m not ashamed to admit it. When made properly, mai tais or margaritas can pack quite a punch. Nothing girly about them - other than the actual umbrellas which can easily be removed.
A couple of years ago we were at the coast (Pismo Beach, Ca) with two other couples. So, I bought an alcohol included Margarita bottle. I drank the whole thing. And then I went to a bar and was lucky to get back. Whew! (No driving was involved in this particularly brilliant episode.)

Once a ‘rumor’ that when they put ANYTHING in a drink ‘separate’ it was to keep an accurate count.
Of course once some ‘anal’ type figured it out, the guy next to you (friend of foe) would have drinks ‘added’ to his/her bill (Up to a point with ‘her’).
Guess the idea was the customer would have 3 or 4 of these potent drinks and wouldn’t ‘believe’ the bar tender and he (most always he at that time) would point out the stems, toothpicks, umbrellas etc etc.
THAT is my story and I am sticking to it...<: <: <:
