What’s the most disappointing drink you’ve ever ordered vs what you expected?

I feel like this happens way more often than people admit.

You read a menu, something sounds incredible, and then it arrives and it’s just… not it.

Either:

• way too bitter

• not what you imagined at all

• completely unbalanced

• or just underwhelming

Sometimes it’s the bar.

Sometimes it’s expectations.

Curious what people here have experienced:

What’s a drink that sounded amazing but didn’t live up to it?

And do you think it was the drink itself or just how it was described?
