Cocktails are often a mixture of spirits and increasingly exotic ingredients, they tend to overpower any accompanying food. Getty Images

DEAR MISS MANNERS: My wife and I often order a cocktail with our restaurant meals.

However, the last few times we dined out, the cocktails were served simultaneously with the appetizers.
