At bars, parties and brand activations there is one moment that always draws a crowd: someone pours a drink into the top of an ice sculpture and, seconds later, it comes out ice-cold at the other end, straight into the glass. That is an ice luge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What exactly is an ice luge<\/h2>\n

A luge is an ice block or sculpture with a carved channel inside. The channel slopes down, sometimes zig-zagging, from where the drink is poured to the outlet. On the way, the drink chills against the ice \u2014 without being diluted as it would be with cubes in the glass.<\/p>\n

How it works at the event<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. The piece is set up on a stable base with drainage for meltwater.<\/li>\n
  2. The bartender or guest pours the drink into the top opening.<\/li>\n
  3. The drink runs down the channel and comes out chilled at the bottom \u2014 into a glass or, shot-style, straight into the mouth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Lighting in the base makes the clear ice glow and turns the luge into the centrepiece of the party.<\/p>\n
