Straight
Straight is a term used in bartending. It refers to a single, unmixed liquor that has been shaken or stirred with ice to chill it before serving it without the ice. It is common for a shot of Tequila to be served "straight."
Up
Up is a term used in bartending. It refers to any drink, mixed or not, that is served in a stemmed glass. A cocktail glass is the most commonly used stemmed glass in which to serve a drink "up" or "straight-up."
Straight-up
Straight-up is a combination of "straight" and "up" and refers to a single, unmixed liquor served chilled in a stemmed glass. When a martini cocktail is castrated of its vermouth and bitters, it becomes simply gin served straight-up.
Neat
"Straight" and "straight-up" are often incorrectly used to mean "neat." However, neat refers to a single, unmixed liquor served at room temperature.
