Usually they will ask what's in it and the bartender will attempt to make it- and usually do it right! I'm hoping this isn't a sign of things to come.
To be fair to them, there are literally thousands of cocktails and cocktail names the world over, and even the supposedly "classic" ones have many different versions, so, unless it's in the menu, I never ask for a cocktail by name.
