When ringing in a skinny grapefruit crush, how should it be done?

Ringing in a skinny grapefruit crush in the normal way is correct because this method ensures that the drink is prepared consistently and accurately according to the establishment’s standards. Most restaurants and bars have a specific way of inputting orders into their POS system, which typically includes all modifiers or variations needed for the drink.

When you ring in a drink normally, it allows the kitchen or bar staff to clearly see what is ordered, including any special requests like the "skinny" option. This way, they can prepare the cocktail using lower-calorie ingredients or methods that meet the specifications of a "skinny" drink, such as substituting soda or using fresh juices rather than sugary mixers, without any confusion.

Using a special code, combining ingredients manually, or only informing the bartender verbally could lead to inconsistencies in preparation, proper tracking of the drinks served, and missed communication in a busy environment. Thus, ringing it in normally ensures that all staff are on the same page and that the drinks are served to the guest correctly.
