First of all this is not a thread about frozen genitals.Although once in the Arctic...........a story for another time.

Recently I've discovered ice balls for my beloved scotch and bourbon.Never really been a neat fan.....I like my booze ice cold but not watered down.The ice ball seems to fit the bill perfectly.I usually get 3 drinks on one ice ball....the glass hits the sink with an ice ball approximately 1/2 the size I started with.I've found with Scotch this is just the right amount of water release per drink.....depending on the bourbon I might add an extra splash.

OK now y'all can have fun with this thread.

Are you talking about the plastic ones that you freeze or the ones that are a mold and you fill with water and then have a nice round ice ball?

bought the mold for Tank in January. Of course, he has to lay off the booze for the next couple of months.

I've got some Whisky rocks I use when I remember that they are in the freezer.

I think it's Numi who keeps bourbons in the freezer. I keep certain vodkas in the freezer from time to time but I'm ok with a splash in my bourbon, and sometimes one cube in there to lower the temp if needed.

When I get over my fear that it will either end up being ghey porn or yet another link to The Thonginator, I will check out this "ice ball" link. But Ron is known for sarcasm...

I like the XL ice cubes, the cigar bar I go to in Indy uses the large cubes and they do melt in a nice slow way.

The balls look cool I think Im going to get a couple sets for myself and some friends.

I have molds that make shot glasses out of ice. I met the guy that invented them and sold them on HSN. He had some left over ( a lot) and gave us some. Just have to be careful that your tongue doesnt stick to it.

Never saw the molds for the freezer, a bar near here has the big brass or copper looking one you put a block into, and it presses it into a ball in about 30 seconds. Lasts for a long time. Cool to watch.
