Question:

What is 'on the rocks' and 'neat' in alcoholic terms??

For example,

Scotch on the rocks.......
I like my whiskey neat.

What do the terms 'on the rocks' and 'neat' mean?


Answers:
Scotch "On the rock" is with ice... Scotch with ice cubes.
Whiskey "Neat" is straight (no ice or mixers)... It's only Whiskey poured straight into a glass.

On the rocks is with ice
neat is nothing

'On the rocks' means just with ice cubes.
'neat' means no mix nor ice. (--,)

on the rocks means with Ice
neat means without a mixer

On the rocks = poured over ice

Neat = no ice

On the rocks is on ice (ice being the rocks)
H2O on the rocks is ice water.
I don't know what neat is, I'll have to check out others answers.

Rocks = ice. So, "on the rocks" means over ice.
Neat (also referred to as "straight up") means no ice or mix-ins. So if you like your whiskey neat, its basically just a shot.
Bottoms up!

rocks means your drink served over ice, neat means as is, like pour it from the bottle to the glass, no ice no mixer, just neat.

neat is whiskey in a glass only, on the rocks is with ice in the glass

On the rocks is over ice, neat is without out ice

Rocks is ice, neat is shaken than strained without ice

scotch on ice
whiskey with nothing in it

on the rocks is over ice, neat is not
