iced something or something on the rocks?

[wang.cupid]

Hi friends,

Are there any differences between iced Coke and Coke on the rocks? Of course, I am not quite sure whether these two expressions are ok to native speakers?

By the way, is coke countable? Let's say, is it ok for us at a KFC to say, "I will have a coke.".

Thanks a lot.

We use "on the rocks" for alcoholic drinks. If you said "Coke on the rocks" it would sound like you were trying to be clever.

Yes, Coke is countable the way coffee or tea or water is countable to mean a can/cup/glass of Coke, coffee, or tea.

Two Cokes and coffee please. -- Something you might say to the waiter.

What do native speakers say if they really want a coke with some ice cubes?
