The novice may have has heard of some popular, simple drinks from his friends but might not remember all their ingredients or how much of each to use. The novice drinks socially with his friends, some of which might bring other ingredients (juices, liquors, etc.).

The experienced bartender has experience making lots of complicated drinks. He understands how different flavors and ingredients interact to to make a good drink. However, even the most experienced bartenders sometimes get used to only the most common requests and may forget the names or exact recipes of some rarer drinks. In addition, the experienced bartender may also be faced with a request not for a specific drink but for a kind of drink. For example, one such person was asked to "make me something tropical, not too strong, with mango juice", and he decided to include pineapple juice and coconut rum, among other ingredients. The experienced bartender would like to be able to select these ingredients, and find an actual recipe if he cannot think of one off the top of his head.
