I am constantly amazed at the silly things that the super-rich spend their money on. The Glace Luxury Ice Company makes ice cubes, very expensive ice cubes. Each ice cube is hand carved out of a block of ice. Glace ‘luxury’ ice is available in cubes and spheres. 25 ‘luxury’ ice cubes in a hermetically sealed pouch sells for $200, but if you want to save money, you can buy 50 ice cubes for $350.
Mark’s Money Saving Tip: If you want to save even more money on ice cubes, buy an ice cube tray at Dollar Tree and make your own ice cubes. If you don’t know how to make ice cubes, send me an e-mail, and I will send you the recipe. Ice cubes are not hard to make.
You can order Glace luxury ice cubes directly from the company’s web site. The company claims that their ice cubes melt more slowly in cocktails than regular ice cubes. I don’t know if that’s true. It seems to me that the speed at which an ice cube melts in a cocktail is determined by how cold the ice cube is, not by how much it costs, or whether it is hand-carved are machine-made. I rent a house to a bunch of chemistry grad students. This sounds like something they should be able to figure out, so I will ask them.
