What about outdoor tiki bars?  Trust me, they do manage to find a way in the 
bottle since they are not capped up in between each and every drink made.  
Does that make that bar "subpar" ?  (see what I mean? ;0)

Well, then you have millions of problems with millions of bars.  Happens every 
day just like marrying liquor, touching the fruit, placing containers in the 
consumable ice well, touching ice, letting the handle of the ice scoop touch 
the ice, bartenders smoking behind the bar, etc.
