It could be just the crowd. Some folks don't dig the super-sweet drinks so
those fancy liquers just collect dust; they are colorful in their bottles,
though.
For me, usually, sweet drinks aren't terribly refreshing; it's like the
difference between drinking a Coke and drinking straight Coke syrup. Regular
Coke has the fizz to keep it grounded while straight syrup just hits you in
the face. Sweet drinks have their place, mind you . . . it's just usually
after dinner when you don't have to worry so much about something heavy in
your system. Although if you were to order an after-dinner mudslide (or any
other sweet drink) somewhere, that could get some VERY interesting looks.
Anytime else, you want some things going on other than just sweet.
