Hell yeah! I dip to taste the citrus juices before I start the shift and then 
check the majority of drinks over a night. Fresh citrus juice can deteriorate 
quickly and consequently the balance of certain drinks will be effected. Like 
yourself, I wouldn't bother to check a particularly sweet or fruity drink so 
often but with anything dry or tart I pretty much allways check and encourage 
the bartenders here to do likewise. What gets on my tits is when bartenders 
taste it after pouring into a glass so that if it does taste outa balance they 
cant just adjust it in the shaker or mixing glass!
