If you think it dumb you must have a better idea for perfectly clear ice. Please tell us.

I forget...

Tell me again why I want perfectly clear ice cubes?


They look nice in a glass of bourbon. The large balls of ice cool and
don't dilute as much so even better.

Seems to me there is a direct relationship beetween cooling and
diluting. Unless you have supercooled ice, but even then.


There is but not as simple as you think. You have thermal mass and
surface area. Put in say 2 ounces of zero degree ice and pour 4 ounces
of 70 degree liquid over it.

If it is crushed ice, it has a lot of surface area and little mass so it
will melt and dilute quickly.

In another container put a 2 ounce ball of ice and pour the liquid.
Since it is thicker, the mass allows it to absorb more heat from the
liquid and melts at a slower rate.

Small cubes would be between crushed and large chunks.

This is the one I have and it really does make a difference sipping your
favorite adult beverage.
