A short history of ice: It's born in the cold climes of someone's crappy freezer, it gets shoveled into an average cocktail and hangs around for about 15 minutes if you're lucky. Then it's history. Our ice is cooler. Ice can be interesting. It's more than H20 in a solid state. Ice isn't just something you ditch in a drink, it's something you build a drink around. Clean. Clear. Fresh. Blended. Shaken. Stirred.
