(just) on the rocks Explanation: If a drink is served neat, this procludes it being on the rocks. If you order a scotch on the rocks (which you obviously wouldn't if you were Scottish), you will get pure scotch over ice. If you order a scotch neat, you will get a scotch without ice. If you want a scotch and soda on the rocks, you can get that too. |

straight, (or) on the rocks Explanation: I would use the word straight instead of neat - meaning that you do not dilute the drink with soda and you do not pour it over ice cubes. On the rocks means poured on icecubes - therefore something is either straight or on the rocks. If your sentence is straight, on the rocks, or mixed with ... then it should be understood as (1) straight OR (2) on the rocks OR (3) mixed with ... |

neat and on the rocks Explanation: I take mine neat and on the rocks = I drink my (whisky/gin) without mixers (ginger/lemon/coke...) and simply poured over ice. There is NO contradiction between "neat" and "with ice" as ice is not supposed to alter the flavour (or even melt!) |
