underpoured
Less than requested
Underpoured describes a drink, typically alcoholic, that has been served with less liquid than expected or standard.
A bartender who underpours might be stingy, inexperienced, or following house policy to control costs.
I sent back my whiskey because it was clearly underpoured.
The term appears most often in restaurant reviews and bar complaints, where customers feel shortchanged on their cocktails or pints.
