Up Cocktails

For a perfectly chilled cocktail, choose a recipe served "up." These drinks are stirred or shaken with ice before being strained into a glass.
If you're looking for a drink served ice-free in a cocktail, coupe or other stemmed glass or simply want to be free of ice and its diluting effects, check out these cocktails served up. From the Martini to the Kir Royale, find the one that suits you and start mixing.
