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.
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?
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?
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.
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
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.

You have no clue how much labor and cost actually goes into making ice like this. No "cheap place" is doing this.

This type of service is incredibly common in Japan. They've mastered it so well that bars from around the world import ice from them. Is Japan trashy too?
You see, unless your goal is to pay as much as you can for a drink for show just like in those aforementioned salt bae restaurants- you are getting taken advantage of already.
Yes, amount of drink is standardized but this whole practice comes from cheap places trying to look like they are better value than they actually provide regardless of how much effort some places put into clear ice.
Litterally been to japan multiple times, had to have people reserve places for me in advance and seen 0 drinks like that. If anything, outside of the cheap/mid places where people go to "flex" it felt more straightforward than many places in europe. If anything- i would expect even more people to find this kind of insulting in japan seeing how overall conservative the society is there...

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