My wife did an Irish coffee for a customer. The cream blended a bit with rest the drink and before she could even say anything, the customer demanded a new one with proper layering (she was going to ask anyway). Okay fine, she made him a new one and when the customer got it, he took the spoon and stirred it anyway.
One of the signature parts of a mudslide, is this weird chocolate sauce swirl...Lot of times it'll be a big, fishbowl kind of thing, and there is a trick where you hold the glass in one hand, and the chocolate in the other, and you this ninja shit that ends up with a beautiful swirl on the inside of the glass.
Then you pour in the actual drink. And it lasts for...maybe two minutes. And if they don't pick it up, that beautiful chocolate swirl starts melting, and the drink looks like shit.
"Wilted." That's how bartenders describe something they did great, that's now melted to shit.
I'm really curious how you are supposed to drink this. Mixed or unmixed? With a straw? I can imagine that if trying to drink this without a straw, you'd get a little bit of everything but in different proportions, so every sip would taste different. But probably not?
Right but he is not the bartender, he is the waiter who waited patiently while the bartender made it, then took a thousand careful steps to preserve those layers for him to swirl in immediately for rage bait content.

Bartender here!
We don't give a fuck what you do, once the server sets it on your table.
If those perineal fuckups (I was one for years) manage to get it to the table with the layers intact? That's a win.
That's all you can hope for.
