Here are a few reasons I can think of, at the moment, why a bartender wouldn't 
know a particular drink.

1) Its a recipe you made up yourself.

2) Its a recipe your friends made up.

3) There are hundreds of classic cocktails, and there are 10,000s of 
variations. They may just have missed your particular recipe.

4) The bartender doesn't have much experience of cocktails.

5) The drink you ask for has multiple different recipes, some similar some not.

6) The drink recipe is obscure, and is only mentioned in one book, which you 
are the only person who has a copy. Stump the bartender is a bad game to play.

7) The bartender in question doesn't bother to learn recipes which include any 
of the following: gatorade, everclear, mulitple colours of sambucca, blue 
curacao, hypnotic, etc etc.

8) lime juice, blue curacao, grenadine, is not a combination of ingredients 
that they would care to remember, let alone give it a specific name.

9) A recipe which you yourself consider good/ fantastic/ OMFG is not 
necessarily   going to be seen that way by someone else.

10) The bartender doesn't like to make drinks which are all name, no actually 
substance.


Here is what I found when I was looking for a Purple Cadillac:

Purple Cadillac
Don Eduardo Silver Tequila, Chambord, Cointreau and sweet & sour.


You could call this drink a Raspberry Margarita (if you wanted to that is!-)


Cheers!
