long drink

noun long drinks

  1. idiomatic A relatively weak (low alcoholic content per volume) and voluminous mixed drink, typically containing lots of ice and mixer. Long drinks generally have more mixer than alcohol and are often served with ice and a straw. The terms ‘straight up’ and ‘on the rocks’ are synonymous with the short drink, which tends to be more about the spirit, which is often combined with a single mixer, at most.
