Can-o-beer? Fifty cents.

Actual beverage that takes some modicum of time and/or effort on the part of the Bartender? A buck.

Something k-razy that takes a significant effort? You, my friend, get a Jefferson.

I agree with your tipping philosophy and method, but I don’t think a Manhattan really qualifies as having more than 2 ingredients. I mean, sure, it does, but if you leave out any of them, you don’t have a Manhattan. On the other hand, a Bloody Mary can have all sorts of vegetables and flavorings in it and still be a Bloody Mary (although the Mission version — a glass of hot sauce and ice with a couple dashes of vodka — goes too far, in my opinion). A real Old Fashioned might even be worth a $3 tip, as a collector’s item.

Let me know how that works out for you when you go up for your second or third round.

I agree. $1/drink, no exceptions.

Two shots and two beers? $4. Five shots? $5.

This is especially important for the first round. Tip well here, go to the front of the line for the next round. Every action has an equal but opposite reaction. It’s like physics, only way more fun.

Standard tip is $1 per drink. 3 PBRs, $3 tip. Easy.

My personal policy is to tip $2 on any drink with more than 2 ingredients. Bloody Mary, margarita, Manhattan, that kind of thing.

Also, it’s often helpful to leave a bigger tip when you get your first round.
