it might sound obvious, but some folks forget that ice is a crucial component of most cocktails. And not all ice cubes are created equal. Larger cubes have as greater surface area which slows down the melting and causes less dilution of your drink. So before you treat yourself to a Single Barrel Old Fashioned, you might consider treating yourself to a proper ice cube mould. You’ll be glad you did.
