How do you make your ice?
I have noticed when I go to the States that there seems to be a national obsession with cold drinks. Here in Ireland we are not too bothered. In bars, the mixers are kept in little glass bottles (sometimes in fridges but generally on shelves). When you order your drink you get a few cubes of ice (about 3 maybe 4) in the alcohol and then the glass bottle is served on the side at room temperature or maybe a little colder. In Florida, I've seen the glasses being stored in fridges before being filled!!
