I like fire more than booze. And I love booze.

Give the poor guy a break, just because he doesn't know now doesn't mean he should quit his job (or something he should be fired for), he's only nineteen, and he's a manager, not a bartender. Getting ideas from the internet about cocktails to save your ass is not a sin.

Calm down, Phil, I wasn't suggesting he should just up and leave. I just think he'd be better off going to his boss about it, explaining his relative lack of experience concerning the matter and getting help there. If he can't handle his first task on his own, it's only going to catch up to him later. Being a manager is about fending for yourself and it's a skill he's going to need to learn right quick if he expects to make it. Harsh? Maybe, but it's the truth. If that's something important enough to the job that he's been assigned the task, asking other people to figure it out for him is only going to hurt him in the long run.

Boro_Bandito:
Meh, you have a point. But I'm assuming that if he's being promoted that his boss trusts him to at least some degree, and that he knows most of what goes on at the place already. And just because you're a manager doesn't mean you should be totally alone, especially at first. I doubt his job hinges on being able to make a good cocktail, and if its an area of little experience I don't see why he can't ask for help. I mean, in another industry like marketing or something where creativity has to come from you, I could see the objection to asking others to make something for you, but really, a manager at a restaurant? Designing a cocktail is about at the peak of creativity he'll ever need.
