What term is used to describe chilling a glass by filling with ice and water and straining the drink into the glass?

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

Answer: (B)

Chill is the term for cooling the glass before pouring. By filling the glass with ice and water, you bring the glass down to a cold temperature, then strain the prepared drink into that chilled vessel. This helps keep the cocktail cold and controls dilution, since the glass was cooled separately from the drink you’re serving. The other terms describe different actions: a chaser is a separate drink taken after a shot, a dash is a tiny amount of an ingredient (like bitters), and to build means to pour ingredients directly into the glass (often over ice) rather than pre-chilling the glass.
