I like ordering a "Stoli Blu-driver", since it's both immediately apparent to the bartender what it is I want, but for some odd reason, seems to give anyone else pause, or outright confuse them. Good conversation starter in a new bar.
More to the point though – make sure you understand the difference between ordering a fancy drink, and "ordering fancy", which may have a tendency to aggravate a busy, overworked, has-to-deal-with-enough-random-crap-already bartender. The only real way to be seen as classy in the eyes of the bartender is to pay with a large bill and leave the change.
