What is "straight"?

Straight is a term used to describe a type of drink that is served without any mixers, ice, or other dilution. This means that the drink is consumed as it is, at room temperature, and without any additional flavorings or ingredients. Straight drinks are most commonly associated with spirits, such as whiskey, vodka, or gin, and are often enjoyed by those who appreciate the pure and unadulterated flavor of the spirit. Drinking a spirit straight allows the full range of flavors and aromas to be experienced, without any interference from mixers or ice. Straight drinks are often consumed as a sipping drink, and are typically enjoyed slowly, allowing the drinker to savor the flavors and aromas.
