You can cool the drink by adding a couple of ice cubes to the glass or moving the bottle to a cool place. The first allows you to cool the liquor quickly, but dilutes its taste, the second can be resorted to only when there is at least a few hours in stock.

Cocktails are poured into special cocktail containers. Shots are prepared in liqueur glasses or small cups. Long drinks can be served in toggle switches - low wide glasses.
