I prefer call brands for vodka martinis, unless the bar specifies that is uses something acceptable.
Sipping drinks are always call brands.
+1
Also, location specific though, if I happen to be stuck on the Strip and want a drink like a whiskey & coke, I say "whiskey & coke" vs. Jack N Coke as
some places charge more since I'm requesting a specific brand despite the well actually just being Jack.
When ordering from a cocktail menu, I don't request subs unless bartender says it actually makes a difference if I don't like what's in a drink.
What were the other two brands? Sounds like a good deal either way !
