You like Gin-Tonics but don't really know cocktails? Enjoy your Hendricks Smash. Want something sweet that you can't really taste the booze in? Enjoy your Charlie Chaplin. Old fashioned? Rum, rye or bourbon? I might throw a little bit of a spiel your way about the wonderful world of Sazeracs if you look like the adventurous type. But it's gonna be half gin, half vodka, and a healthy dose of cocchi Americano (the only common-enough vermouth similar to the now-extinct original vermouth used in the James Bond original). Want your Martini shaken? Oh baby, I love a Vesper Martini. But it's coming out lime-heavy and a nice opaque soft pink instead of the cartoonishly pink they appear on TV. Long Island Ice Teas are a valid drink, but you're only getting 10-15mls of each spirit (Aussie limitations). Unless someone absolutely knows what they want, they usually get a spiel asking what they like or if they like sweet/sour/dry/etc. Honestly, there's not much I'd judge you for as long as you don't complain about the outcome.
Since this thread turned into a bit of a judgement fest and some insecurity from people about their drink orders, I thought I'd talk about that. Ones that seat 50ish people tops and you're expected to be able to have a good chat with the bartender, and rely on their classic knowledge. I work pretty exclusively in small cocktail bars.
