This, in a double old fashioned glass

Yes this.
Not weird, smart actually. Using a martini glass is like swinging around a tea saucer full of vodka.


Boozing from a rocks glass is more inconspicuous too. Knocking back martinis out of martini glasses at a restaurant is a little too showy for me. And espresso martinis have made it sort it sort of cliche; like a pumpkin spice latte girlie.

Ask for the martini in an old fashioned glass and then ask for a glass of ice in the side so you can add your own. That way you get the full martini shaken and can add as much ice as you want.

Isn't that just called served 'up'? Seems like a pretty simple request, no?


Up means chilled but with no ice. So it would be put in the rocks glass without ice.

I’d have to ask for a drink “but can I have it in a coupe glass please” which seems like unnecessary annoying work for the bartender so I’ve never done it.

So as a bartender, you would make the martini normally, shake it and the strain it into the rocks glass over ice? I just want to receive a super cold martini on ice. But I also don’t want to sound classless if this is sort of a faux pas to drink one like that. If I just ordered gin or vodka on the rocks it’s not going to be ice cold.


“Gin martini shaken with a twist, but could you put that on the rocks in a rocks glass? So shaken and on the rocks. Thanks!!”

I thought up was just no ice?

Just get a gin and tonic OP.


Too much sugar and don't want a mixer.
