Do "Elevated" Versions of Dive Bar Cocktails Actually Work?

Zach and VinePair managing editor and Cocktail College host Tim McKirdy investigate a trend of bars offering "elevated" takes on low-brow cocktails like the Screwdriver and Long Island Iced Tea - do these drinks serve as valuable enticements that bring in would-be drinkers via social media or press coverage, or do they serve to confuse drinkers who find the rest of the bar's offerings to perhaps be incongruous.
