This is the dumbest thing ever, there are exact measurements of drink you get in your cocktails. While it is still extortionate, the ice is not the problem
The ice is there to make the drink look bigger. There is no need for it to be that big.
This is incredibly high quality ice. And its there to provide large surface area dilution.
There is no need for it to be that big.
That's what he said
Do you have any idea how hard it is to make an ice cube that size?
And clear ice, with no bubbles.
You are not going to get more than a few shots worth of alcohol in a mixed drink anyway. Watch this https://youtu.be/CuhrbiaVruE?si=IpateaiCX1RfmjzR
I went to a comedy show a couple years ago and they had a two drink minimum (and IDK why I couldn't just get a Dr. Pepper) and my white Russians were like half vodka, half khalua and just enough cream to color it. I was fucked after the first one and I had to get 2!
The problem isn't the amount of liquid, that's standard. Unless this bar invested in a special ice maker, they're likely buying these at 4 dollars each block, that's a huge premium on top of the liquid in the glass.
So?
This is what goes on c/Videos nowadays?
I'm a bartender, the people who complain about ice are the same people who complain about their negroni not having enough liquid in it. Please just listen to your bartender they absolutely know more than you.
Was it good?
Fk I can't wait to deep throat that
