Am I missing something, or are you confused by the ice ball?
It’s an actual thing. Supposedly it makes your drink both very cold and doesn’t melt as fast but it sure seems to me like a way for bars to charge you the same price for half the drink.
Supposedly it makes your drink both very cold and doesn’t melt as fast
It definitely doesn’t melt as fast because it has less surface area than a bunch of small ice pieces. However, all ice makes a drink equally cold given enough time. The faster the ice melts, the faster your drink gets cold. So if you use a very large cube of ice, your drink will not get as cold as quickly due to the smaller surface area.
