Bars with overpriced drinks hate this one weird trick:

1oz Campari - $1.10

1oz Red vermouth - $0.75

1oz Gin - $1.50

1 orange peel sliver - $0.1

Ice

100% premium ingredients. A dalmation could prepare it. $3.45 cost, sell it for double @ $7.

I know it’s an unc take, but I just don’t understand where the appetite for $20+ cocktails comes from. Maybe I’m just poor, like the person said below.

Granville Island Brewing is owned by Creemore Springs which is owned by Molson Coors.

Cocktails are a scam. Most places (and even some of the best places) are using cheap base ingredients, and the end results are gimmicky, boring, and lacking in complexity. At best, the median quality cocktail is nice to look at and features an acceptable balance of sweetness and acidity. A fucking glass of cold juice wins on a head-to-head of those metrics almost every time haha.
