Bartender reveals why asking for 'no ice' at a bar is a bad idea
As a bartender, you can be asked for a range of different requests, specialty drinks, inclusions and exclusions. The rise of TikTok and its 'hacks' have only fuelled this fire.
One such 'hack' that has been doing the rounds on online is asking your bartender for no ice in your drink is a sure-fire way to get yourself more alcohol in your beverage.

TikTok user Jemima June, who is known as @jemimajune_ online, has racked up more than 8 million views after telling a customer that "no ice" doesn't mean more alcohol.
In the clip, a customer is heard asking for a tequila cranberry with no ice. After being served his drink, the customer repeats "no ice", June responds "There's no ice in that. Do you want a double tequila cranberry?"
"Just because you say 'no ice' doesn't mean you're going to get more alcohol. Double means you're going to get more alcohol," the TikToker could also be heard saying.

Commenters under the TikTok were divided over the matter, with some viewers finding the bartender to be abrasive in response to what some people thought was a simple request.
"I don't have ice because I don't like it, I would just avoid a place like this," a commenter wrote.
However, other bartenders came to June's defence with their own anecdotes and explanations. "We always get 'that' customer," another added.
