Lounge drink carrier
A cocktail waitress is a woman who serves drinks in a bar, lounge, or casino.
The job often involves navigating crowded spaces while carrying trays of beverages, and in some establishments the position comes with expectations about appearance or dress code.
She worked as a cocktail waitress in Vegas before getting into real estate.
The male equivalent is typically called a cocktail waiter or cocktail server, though server has become the gender-neutral standard.
