A vodka what?

Apparantly, there is a difference between a gimblet vodka and a straight up vodka. Unfortunately, I had to learn this lesson the hard way. I almost killed an eighty-year old woman. She spoke softly, the music was loud, and I have no other excuses other than I am an ignorant fool. When I delivered what I thought was the vodka she ordered from the bartender I noticed a strange look on her face as the small glass hit the table. Right then I knew I had messed up. I stood there and watched her take her first sip. She nearly joked and spit the small sip back into the glass.
"What is this?" her husband hollered.
"A vodka" I answered nervously.
"That is a vodka straight up, what are you trying to do here, kill my wife?" he replied sternly. "She ordered a gimblet vodka."

I came to find out a gimblet vodka is diluted with water, juice and something else, I already forgot. I am grateful there was a difference in taste with these two drinks or else she could have finished the whole thing and I would have been responsible for her intoxication. I learned at that moment I needed to be a bit more careful about the alcoholic beverages I am serving to these trusting customers. From now on I will clarify the drink order and ask the bartender just to make certain I don't risk messing up again.

I don't know what I am doing serving alcohol. I probably know the least about that kind of stuff. I quickly received my nickname as "Becky the Mormon" and I am fulfilling this reputation, no problem. Actually the guys at work are always so kind to invite me out for a smoke, jokingly of course. The girl I trained with has the nickname of "Chrissie the stripper", so that is cool. She is really good at serving alcohol and knows everything about it because she is a retired bartender. Anyhow, hopefully my naivity doen't get me fired. Good times at the Cheesecake Factory.
