TPTW Fussy about ice in your drinks ?

[adelekeegan1]

I am very fussy about the ice for my G&T and have been on a lifelong quest for the perfect cube :lol:

AND I'VE FOUND IT

A restaurant near me has an ice machine that produces totally clear rock hard 1" cubes that look like glass.

I really hate 'shapes' and I don't like the ones that look frosty inside and particularly hate those ones that seem to dissolve in 30 seconds.

So, is it me, or does anyone else fret about ice ?

Hi Adele long time no speak, I am with you on this one, when I have my Vodka the glass has to be filled with ice to the brim before any liquid is put in the glass, I also like clear ice cubes and they also musn't melt before I have taken a gulp. You see great minds think alike:hug:

I'm the total opposite, I hate ice in drinks!! Also if I have ice cubes especially those that aren't cubes I sit and fish them out and end up with a big watery mess everywhere and very cold hands

Adele you have really gone down in my estimation ... since when did you dilute your drinks with ice? :lol:

Ah, you see I drink them so fast, they don't get diluted:green:

As a Gin & Tonic connoisseur...I have to say it's not so much about the ice but the tonic.
If anyone dares to give me a G&T with FLAT TONIC then I'll go bersequat!

I always buy either small bottles of diet tonic so it never goes flat, or the small tins if schhhh...you know who tonic.
Flat tonic in a G&T is just not on, no way de nada etc.

Regarding the ice...it must go in LAST, so the tonic does not lose it's fizz when poured over the gin & ice.
So..I guess you could say I'm as batty as a fruit cake about the perfect G&T, or at the very least, as crackers as Adele!:lol:

Now here is a woman after my own heart.

I'd like to think I am known for miles around for my nails or manis or any treatment but frankly I am more famous for my G&Ts

It has to be Schhhhhh tonic, a glass that has been in the freezer (where I keep my gin) a freshly sliced slice of lemon, three large ice cubes - but I insist on the tonic last:lol:

Ice has to be crystal clear, I hate cloudy ice. I wish I could make it like that at home. My ice never gets to melt, no matter what its in be it a nice double southern comfort or JD and coke I always finish the drink and have my ice cubes to crunch on :lol:

I like ice in drinks but I hate drinking drinks with ice in them unless.... I have a straw. I don't like the cold feeling on my top lip! am I wierd???

Yes!! I guess so!

 

[min11]

Ya think? I can never work out how they dissapear so fast, even when I try and make it last I'm still finished before everyone else

:lol:

 

[Bev Rose]

I never make my own ice.
I buy it in bags from the supermarket as it is slightly more clear in drinks AND it's made from spring water!

Only for replying to my mad thread:green:

 

[angel fingers]

i believe if you boil the water first it makes clearer ice.

i dont really care though, but i do like ice cubes to be big so they dont melt too quick.

I am almost the same as you, I like 2 pieces of Ice..depending on the size of course, any more than that and I fish it out too...
Its worse when its them chunks with a hole in the middle...try as you may to get them out with a straw and look dignified at the same time...IT DOESN'T WORK :grr: you still end up shoving your fingers in

I like ice in drinks but I hate drinking drinks with ice in them unless.... I have a straw. I don't like the cold feeling on my top lip! am I weird???


Yes!! I guess so!

I always have to have a straw too hun...and yup I get funny looks if they make the BIG mistake of giving me a green or yellow one GGGRRRRRRRR :irked:
I must have the look of shock and horror on my face lol,(I have to have it swapped )
I always ask for a pink or a black one...
I could never drink out of anything with a yellow or green straw bllleeeuuughhhhhhhhhh



Oooooo omg and I can't have ice in vodka...yet I hate it when its not freezing cold..
whether it has coke / redbull whatever in,
If I have ice I get RRREEEEEEEAAALLLYYY bad tummy cramps
Only with vodka though...how weird, been that way for about 9 years now

Drink quicker, then they hardly melt at all no matter how small. Works for me!! :green:

Not weird, just a bit eccentric :lol:
