What should I say if I don't want the barman to put ice in my drink?

1. Please, without ice.
2. Please, no ice.

Thank you in advance.

Maybe you could say:

Please, neat. (Without ice)

Hi,

But 'neat' would also mean 'no mixers', eg whiskey but no ginger ale.

No ice, please.

Please, no ice sounds rather dramatic to me. Like For Heaven's sake, I beg you -- no ice!

could be "neat" spoken in any english-speaking country or simply "without ice"?

Hi,

In addition to my previous comment about 'neat', let me add that I've only ever heard it said of alcoholic drinks.

Neat means without any other drinks mixed in, not without ice.
