lasillisessa

Lasillisessa is a Finnish term that translates to "in the glass" or "within the glass." It is primarily used in the context of beverages, particularly alcoholic drinks, to describe a serving of a drink that is poured directly into a glass, as opposed to a bottle or can. For example, if a restaurant menu lists "lasillisessa" next to a wine, it indicates that the wine can be ordered by the glass.

The term is also relevant when discussing the preparation of cocktails. A cocktail made "lasillisessa" implies that all ingredients are mixed and served in the drinking glass itself, without prior shaking or stirring in a separate mixing vessel. This method is often used for simpler drinks or when a particular presentation is desired.

Furthermore, "lasillisessa" can be used more broadly to refer to anything consumed or contained within a glass. While most commonly associated with drinks, it could technically apply to other food items served in a glass, such as certain desserts or appetizers. The essential meaning remains the presence or serving of something inside a glass container.
