In the middle

Last night

Last night, the bar at the Amstel Hotel.
I ordered a cocktail.
Waitress: "The bartender doesn't recommend this cocktail."
"He doesn't?"
"The cocktail will be removed from the menu."
"But it's still on the menu?"
"It's still on the menu."
"And I can order it?"
"You can order it, but the bartender recommends not drinking the cocktail."
"I see, then I'll order another cocktail. Let the bartender decide, he knows the cocktails better than I do."
"Sweet, sour, something in the middle?"
"Something in the middle."
"Foam on the cocktail?"
"Let's start without foam."
