What type of drink is created by filling a full rocks glass with ice?

The type of drink created by filling a full rocks glass with ice is classified as a rocks drink. This style of drink involves serving spirits or cocktails over ice in a short, wide glass known as a rocks glass. When making a rocks drink, the emphasis is typically on serving the drink chilled while allowing the drinker to enjoy the beverage as it slowly dilutes with the melting ice.

A highball drink is typically served in a tall glass and usually contains a spirit mixed with a larger proportion of a non-alcoholic mixer, which is not how a rocks drink is prepared. Martinis, on the other hand, are traditionally shaken or stirred and served up in a stemmed glass without ice, distinct from the ice-filled rocks glass. Sour drinks generally have a citrus juice component and are often shaken before being served in a different glass style, also not aligning with the characteristics of a rocks drink.
