Why Giant Ice Cubes Are the Only Cubes Your Home Bar Needs
Cocktail ice is something that ethanol fans can really, really enjoy. However, if you’re not a fan of nugget ice , you really only need one cube for your home bar: a really big one.
As Daniel Casto of Double Dragon explained to me , you can do almost anything with a large die. “You can shake it with it, stir it, serve drinks and if you need smaller pieces, just break it down into smaller pieces.” They look pretty cool too.
They are also very easy to make. Just get myself a silicone ice cube tray, I like this one get to ice making. Once you have large cubes of frozen water, you can start making drinks. To chill and dilute drinks, simply submerge one cube in a cocktail shaker or stirring glass and shake or stir until you reach the desired temperature and dilution level. If you’re not worried about all that extra stirring, you can make simpler drinks right in the glass around the cube and stir it a little in place . If you really can’t bring yourself to put in any effort, just pour some whiskey or mescal or whatever poison of your choice into lowball with one of your giant cubes. Your drink will be pleasantly chilled and you will feel very stylish.
