What does one typically receive when ordering a drink "Up"?

Ordering a drink "Up" typically indicates that the beverage should be served chilled and without ice. This means that the drink is mixed or prepared, then chilled before being poured into a glass, allowing for a cold experience without dilution from melting ice. This preparation is common for cocktails and certain types of spirits where the flavor profile is preferred to remain unaltered by ice.

It’s important to note that when a drink is specified as "Up", it emphasizes a certain presentation and drinking experience, appealing to those who enjoy the pure, concentrated flavor of the beverage. This method is different from having a drink served over ice, which would dilute the beverage as the ice melts, or serving it straight from the bottle, which would not involve any preparation or chilling method. Similarly, a warm drink served in a glass does not align with the expectations of an "Up" order, which is all about providing a cold drink experience.
