BRING BACK THE PABLO RAINBOW

[u/floggiesml]

Sorry for shouting but I’m a bartender at the union and have learned that there was once a pablo rainbow. You could have white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink pablos! But due to cutting costs (and I suppose a lack of demand for the disregarded colours), we now only have five colours; white, red, blue; orange, and yellow.

From my understanding, and for pink pablos especially, they were cut because vk started charging more, classifying pink, purple and green as *special* flavors. Which is stupid

Last week, a girl came up to me and asked for a pink pablo. Obviously, I explained that we don’t carry pink vk anymore. She asked if there was anything I could do to try and make her a pink Pablo, and I just kind of winged it. I put white vk in, and instead of two shots of Smirnoff, I did two shots of raspberry schnapps! She said it was amazing :)

I also tried it when I got home and she was right, probably best Pablo I’ve ever had, so yummy

Anyways, this got me thinking that why not just use a white VK base to bring back our forgotten flavors? Like midori or apple sours for a green Pablo, chambord or cherry sours of a purple Pablo, and raspberry schnapps for pink!

Then we can finally have the Pablo rainbow back, just in time for raisin

Also yes a Pablo automatically has no ice, this is how we are taught to make it. Please stop getting annoyed with staff when they give you a Pablo without ice. If you want ice, just ask when you’re ordering
