Ice is pretty simple. Pour some water into a plastic tray, throw it in the freezer, and wait. If you’re impatient, you select crushed or cubed on your fancy french door fridge and stick a cup underneath the spout. Either way, you end up with a bunch of frozen chunks of water that, awesomely, makes your drink cold and, unfortunately, dilutes it to the point that it’s as much water as it is booze. You could go the whiskey stones route, but there’s also another option – Stainless Steel Ice Cubes. Four 1″ stainless steel cubes filled with a non-toxic gel that will make your drink as shiny as it is cold and delicious.
