Ice is complicated for home use. I use my Lewis bag with glee when crushed and shattered/broken ice is called for, but I only have standard freezer cubes. I admittedly chose a seltzerator over an ice maker and vermouth fridge lol. I like the idea of tempering it - sort of like chocolate! But not really...

I'm glad I read this because I thought my domestic ice cubes were considered "wet ice", so I have always omitted the water... I suppose I have a few drinks to re-try.
