Double Shot
This is a sad, but true fact: some people go to bars looking for a sense of comfort or camaraderie. The only explanation I can think of for ordering half and half is wanting something close to a warm glass of milk- which is a staple of many people’s childhood. A warm glass of milk can equal comfort, nice memories, and make you feel all cozy and happy inside.
Most bartenders will be understanding of weird orders. After all, bars are also a place where people get, well- intoxicated. So the next time you overhear someone ordering half and half in a bar- maybe you can go wrap your arms around them for a big hug.
