I don't know about you, but when I order a drink at the bar, I do it because I WANT THE FUCKING DRINK! If I wanted to watch what @SimplyMatthias aptly calls "the alcohol version of Salt Bae" juggle some bottles while I'm thirsty, I'd go to the circus.

Roccodeangelis97 is an Italian bartender and TikToker who makes videos showcasing his version of classic drinks. But with just about every video over two minutes long, his showmanship for the camera comes at the expense of giving people what they really want: their alcohol. 


"You notice the bar's empty cause it takes him 50 minutes to make one drink," a TikTok user joked. 



"Lol just gimmie my damn drink tf," @MMBliving commented.


A clip of his "Old Fashioned" has over 10 million views on Twitter, posted with the question, "How much do you think you’re getting charged?"


"No more than $9 if it’s just Four Roses," @ASnyder0913 answered, pointing out the bourbon.


"I'm not getting charged anything, though I might get thrown out of the bar," @Smiling_Fenrir quipped. 


Mixology is cool, and bartenders who know how to put on a good show can definitely add to a place's experience. Rocco's videos are all in good fun, but if I don't get my drink because he's busy stamping his ice, I might need to settle things the 'old fashioned' way.
