What term describes chilling a glass by filling with ice and water before serving?

• A. Build
• B. Dash
• C. Cocktail
• D. Chill

Answer: (D)

Chill is the term used for making the glass cold before serving. By filling the glass with ice and water and letting it sit, you bring the vessel to a low temperature, which helps keep the drink colder for longer and reduces rapid warming from the table or hands. After the glass is cooled, you typically dump out the ice water (and sometimes rinse) before pouring the drink. The other options don’t describe this cooling step: building is pouring ingredients into the glass over ice, a dash is a small amount of liquid, and a cocktail is the finished drink.
