I try to chide the bartenders a bit when this happens -- "So, where do you get your drink recipes? This is nothing like what the drink is supposed to be." This often leads into a friendly discussion where the bartender (hopefully) gets to learn some things from me and hopefully takes it back to his boss. But in all cases I try to gently deliver the message that "You'd sell way more of these if you made them right cuz they'd taste way better." We're cocktail missionaries, right?
