Keep Your Drink Cool Without Watering It Down By Using Whiskey Stones

No more melting ice cubes.

Picture this: you’ve got your new whiskey glasses, you have a new bottle to enjoy, but instead of happily sipping on your favorite whiskey you’re instead drinking a diluted, watered-down version. If you like your whiskey on the rocks but don’t enjoy having your drink watered down with ice cubes, we’ve got you covered. Whiskey stones are not only an easy and safe way to keep your favorite whiskey cool, they can also be used with just about any drink that you want to enjoy at a refreshing temperature.

Whiskey stones eliminate the dilution of drinks through ice cubes by replacing traditional ice cubes with stones made from granite or soapstone. Whiskey stones are placed in the freezer, usually for a period between two and four hours, then added to a drink just as you would with ice cubes. Voila, your whiskey (or other preferred drink) is now able to stay cool without getting ruined by ice.

Whiskey stones don’t absorb the heat from your drink and instead maintain a cool temperature the way ice cubes would, thus cooling down your drink without dilution. And before you judge an item by its name, whiskey stones not only work for whiskey, but other drinks as well. So really, how can you not use them?
