neat pour
Unmeasured bartender's stream
A neat pour is a serving of liquor poured straight from the bottle into a glass, without ice, water, or mixers.
The term emphasizes both the style of service and the measure itself: He ordered a neat pour of bourbon.
Distinguished from "on the rocks" (with ice) or "with a splash" (with water), a neat pour lets the spirit's full character come through undiluted.
