There's no reason to think that, between killing Mike and the drink at Hank & Marie's,Walt and Hank had another drink where Walt established his new preference.

On an ordinary show I'd agree with you but Breaking Bad is no ordinary show. They've shown a laser focus on details. They don't tend to show things for no reason.
Why would they include details like cutting the crusts off or having Hank bring attention to Walt having his drink on the rocks when throughout the series he's always had them neat. It's not like Walt is so meek and mild mannered at this point that he wouldn't want to correct Hank.
I think it's also telling that Hank, who is so damned determined and observant when it comes to his cases pays Walt so little attention that he doesn't even know how Walt takes his drink.
