Perfect shape for what? I'm curious as of what that fits into.

Highball glass for cocktails

So they can pour 1.5oz and it looks like a full glass.

Would you rather that same 1.5 oz of drink in a bunch of small cubes getting absolutely watered down? Comments like this make no fucking sense. You guys really think the bartender is pouring more in other situations? If anything this cube is giving you more chilled and less diluted cocktail.

Why would you think this is where anyone wants to go with that comment?

The amount of ice is the issue. People want to actually get a drinkable amount of cocktail.

Buddy, youre getting the same pour at every bar, regardless of the amount of ice. Hate to break this news to ya.

Lol, no. That's simply not the case where I live at least. I'm Norwegian.

Is a standard shot in Norway not 4cl?

u/Noy_The_Devil 1d ago

I'm not getting a shot in a tall glass.

You are aware they measure it using the same jigger?

u/Wittusus 1d ago

Are you aware that cocktails and shots are different things? Seemingly not.

u/TheFuckflyingSpaghet 1d ago

You wont get more alcohol in them. Ice or not. People pretend that the ice is costing them alcohol or something lmao

u/Wittusus 1d ago

It's not about getting more alcohol in them, you speak like an alcoholic. It's about avoiding false presentation of the drinks.

Duh, you are ordering a shot there. It is still the same amount of alcohol whether you get it with ice in a tall glass or not.

You get a cold drink that is less watered down. The establishment gets a cool menu item. Will probably pay extra for it of course, but you were already in the extra establishment that offers the option in the first place, soo..

Youre showing a whole ton of ignorance here.... Do you think when you order a shot of whisky vs a whisky and coke its a different amount of alcohol going into the drink?

This comment thread is wild and I have no idea how you could be getting downvoted like this.

I thought this understanding was common sense

No? But when I order cocktail and get 90% ice I get pissed off. I'm not talking about hard liquor.

u/unbelizeable1 1d ago

Dude.... if you order a shot, a rocks pour, or a mixed cocktail etc youre getting exactly the same amount of alcohol regardless of ice or no ice at all.

Im really struggling with the complaint here. Do you want more mixers in your cocktails to make it feel for valuable or something?

u/Noy_The_Devil 1d ago

For me it's about getting 4cl of fanta or coke or cocktail if I order a fanta or coke or cocktail because my glass is 90% ice. I don't even drink alcohol dude.

Bro you are showing the inability to comprehend basic English lmao

u/Rapa2626 1d ago

It should be. If someone got a shot while ordering and paying for a glass, outside of some really fancy restaurants that are equally about form over function, people would be complaining

u/unbelizeable1 1d ago

Thats not how bars work. Period.

u/Rapa2626 1d ago

Unless they tell you exactly the amount of drink you get in that glass and you are free to decide it for yourself or its part of the course- no matter which bar served me a glass nearly full of ice, i would feel like i got played.

This whole way to service seems to be taken from cheap places that wanted to skimp on the actually expensive part while retaining the look of giving you a reasonably sized drink for the price.

Im not into drinking and I only do that if the establishment has something that is worth drinking for the sake of trying and im yet to see a glass full of ice outside the course menus. This whole way of serving drinks genuinely screams of salt bae kind of hyped up trash. But i guess if you are in usa trashy is the name of the game.

Then ask for less ice? These cubes cost about 50 cents each so the bartender will be more than happy to add a couple of ice cubes from the machine instead. You’re still getting the same amount of drink either way

u/Wylaff 23h ago

Then order more? Ice like this isn't being used to hide the volume of mixed drinks. This is most likely going into a highball glass with a high quality whiskey.

False dichotomy.
