Excellent way to keep the Alcohol on Chill

Sherardp

Pardon the thread title gents. Anyway I wanted to share this with you guys. I really don't like watered down Vodka ( my drink of choice) so I wanted to share this with you. Out here in Japan, nearly every bar I visit they serve beverages with Spherical shaped cubes. It does last longer than our average cubes and prevents your beverage of choice from tasting watered down. I've been searching everywhere for something to achieve this, since most local bars here achieve this by hand with ice picks. So for those interested in keeping the Vodka, Cognac or Whiskey chilled minus that watered down taste, check these out.

I'm enjoying a nice glass of Belvedere with just a hint of Cran-Grape right now and it is oh so lovely gents.

These actually look pretty interesting.. as a Whiskey man.. I also am annoyed by the ice cubes watering down my precious Marker's Mark =P

Great suggestion Bro. In my drinking days, I drank my scotch straight up or my martinis up using the shaker method to give them (the martinis) the chill. No watered down booze in that!

A great suggestion but after the 3rd glass your back to norm room temps. Unless of course you keep changing the glass. I do like these trays though, very nice.

In some cases i actually like when the ice melts a little. It balances out my sipper drink of choice. Manhattan!

Those are nifty but would rather have for say my iced Tea.

So you are saying that round ice melts slower than square ice. Any idea why?

Less surface area per equivalant volume. I keep my vodka in the freezer too, definitely helps!

Really? I thought they would just throw the ice cubes in the air, round them with a couple swords, and make them fall in the glass. What have we come to.
