Four ways to keep your drink nice and icy

June 11, 2008 in Drinking,The kitchen with 4 Comments

Whoa, what is it with me and drinks lately? First the margarita pitcher post, then the bar-on-a-wall post, and now this! If you haven’t already guessed, it’s still hot here on the east coast, and it just so happens that a cool beverage is an easy way to beat the heat. How one keeps said beverage cool is a matter of personal preference.

Here are four options you may or may not fancy:

Stick it in your drink and nowhere else, please

Am I the only one who thinks these look vaguely dirty? Just count yourself lucky that the ice boobies mold was all sold out. I know, you’re crushed, as was I. Apparently ice kebobs add “a cOoOol touch” to your summertime parties…what does that even mean? Is there a ghost in the ice?


A little excessive, but still properly

I will always regret the fact that I never once carved my own ice luge during my four years at university. I had the space, the tools, and the help. The only thing missing was the ice! Back then, I’m pretty sure there weren’t any easy-to-use ready made molds, so I can’t feel too bad about my lack o’ luge.

A shot of cool

I’m not about to suck booze out of a luge at this stage in my life, but I might shoot a lemon drop out of a glass made of ice. I think these are neat, but the question really ought to be, are they “cOoOol?”

ROCK OUT WITH SOME ICE

Now these…these are cool. Who wouldn’t want an ice guitar?!

    Hee! Mr. Twistie would spend so much time trying to work out precisely what make and model the ice guitar was meant to be that it would melt before he started drinking.

    Why am I not surprised that your mind went straight to the ribald with the ice kebabs? And why am I equally unsurprised that mine went to the same place, sat down with yours, and started giggling?

    We are a sad pair.

    I not only thought those dirty thoughts, I remembered that I had seen X-rated ice-stick makers. Do you want me to find you the link? They have two sizes…and that’s all I’m saying about that!
