What it is for

Old fashioned

The classic with a single large cube: cold and balanced from start to finish.

Spirits on the rocks

Whisky, rum or tequila chilled without losing body.

Stirred cocktails

Negroni, boulevardier and others served on the rocks.

Why large ice melts more slowly

A single 5 cm cube has far less surface than the same weight in small cubes. Less surface touching the drink means slower melting and more predictable dilution.

Being crystal clear, the cube has no internal bubbles or cracks: it does not crack when the drink is poured and keeps its sharp edges for longer.
