Step 3: Pour water from shot glass into the drink glass.

Notice how the ice is not floating and the liquid is nowhere near filling the glass?
In a mixed cocktail, the soda, juice, whatever fills the rest.

If it's just on the rocks, only more alcohol will fill the glass.

You are being charged for extra pours of liquor.

What these establishments need to do, however, is spell this out clearly on the menu with a total price for the drinks, not separate charges.
Or a smaller glass would work??
