Oops.. I know. Just got my bottles mixed up (head hung low.... I KNOW it's 
Rum.. heck.. silly me)

Exactly! When I first saw it, I was like 'Wow! We can really move this, can't 
we?'. I guess I was w-r-o-n-g

This is what I need to hear!

Tuaca not moving except when Apryl is behind the bar! I tell you, NONE of the 
other bartenders can get it moved for much of anything. But, seems the drinks 
I've made with the Tuaca, and the people that I have served it to straight 
seem to REALLY like it. I have had many repeat calls for Naked Twisters! and a 
few of my others.

My problem is, when I am tired, management is giving me a hard time (is it the 
moon?) I don't recommend as much as I do when I have a chance to try to 
recommend. It's kinda 'work' for me to do the recommending when I am at a 
place with people that ask for Long Island Iced Tea because they know of 
NOTHING else to order, or will ask, 'Can I get something with some Belevedere 
in it? Oooh... can you make me a Daiquiri with Belevedere???'.... makes me 
wanna run for the 'They need Training Wheels' sign!
