Punch has such good articles. Any Germans who can confirm this is a local drink? I’ve never heard of it. I particularly liked the line:
“The simplest cocktails have the smallest margin for error.”

See: Gin & Tonic, the drink that 99.4% of bars can’t make right.
We have a sort of mall with a few bars and the husband and I have been doing the world’s slowest bar crawl, trying all of them. I’ve ordered a whiskey sour at each.
One asked if I wanted egg white and made an awesome shaken one.
One mixed whiskey and sour mix just stirred, barely.
One was expensive but pretty good.
One used real lemon and good Japanese whiskey but again just stirred what the heck?
I literally had one bartender tell me they were out of sour mix and didn’t know how to make one.
To use fresh citrus and not shake is criminal.

Record scratch <- that was my brain reading this.
That’s a great test of bars/bartenders. It’s so frustrating that they can’t even make a basic drink near perfect every time.
Ordered one at a dive bar once, I got a gin and soda instead… shit was nasty
Ewwww
