Ordering Cocktails: Types of Drinks
Call Drinks: When you specify a brand of liquor for your mixed drink, it’s known as a call drink.
Premium Drinks: Premium drinks are cocktails that are made with an expensive (or “top-shelf”) liquor.
Well Drinks: Well drinks are cocktails that are mixed with the cheapest liquor available at the bar. If you order a mixed drink without specifying a brand, you’re going to get a well drink.

Ordering Cocktails: Special Requests

Chilled: Liquor is “chilled” by pouring it into a shaker with ice, shaking it, and then straining it into a shot glass. This process is used most often for shots, although some folks might specifically request chilled liquor in their cocktails.
Dirty: Used in reference to gin martinis or vodka martinis. A “dirty” martini contains olive juice.
Dry: Used in reference to gin martinis or vodka martinis. A “dry” martini contains dry vermouth.
Neat: Ordering a drink “neat” means to serve it without ice in an old-fashioned glass. This is most often used for liquor by itself, rather than cocktails or mixed drinks.
On the Rocks: Ordering a drink “on the rocks” means to serve it with ice.
Sweet: Used in reference to gin martinis or vodka martinis. A “sweet” martini contains sweet vermouth.
Tall: “Tall” cocktails are served in larger glasses. The amount of liquor remains the same, but the mixed drink will contain more juice, soda, or tonic water. Not all cocktails can be served as tall drinks, so be sure to check with your bartender.
Top Shelf: If you order a “top shelf” drink, you’re requesting that the bartender mix it with the best (i.e. most expensive) liquor at the bar.
Up: If you order a drink “up,” it will be chilled and strained into a martini glass. This generally applies to liquor being served by itself. A martini made without vermouth is also known as a “gin up” or a “vodka up.”
With a Twist: If you order a drink “with a twist,” the bartender will rub a slice of fruit (usually lemon or lime) along the rim of the glass, as well as squeeze some juice into the drink itself. In most cases, the bartender will either drop the fruit into the cocktail or leave it resting on the rim.
With Salt: When cocktails ordered “with salt,” the rim of the glass is dampened and then coated with kosher salt.

For example: a vodka and tonic will traditionally get a 1.5 ounce shot of vodka and filled with tonic (quinine). Now if you order vodka ‘on the rocks’, the bartender will most likely give you the 2-3 ounces of vodka in a rocks glass with ice. Vodka ‘up’ is usually the same amount of spirit only to be strained from the ice, into a martini glass.
