You Don't Have the Stones... But Maybe You Should

Nothing beats a glass of your favorite whiskey on the rocks. But every whiskey drinker, from the lightest dabbler to the most seasoned connoisseur has experienced one of the biggest bummers when drinking with ice in the glass: the good stuff just gets watered down. Some have tried to combat it with one giant ice ball as opposed to cubed or crushed, but doing this takes up more of the glass. So how can you keep your drink cool without diluting it? The answer is simple: whiskey stones.


Whiskey stones are a relatively new technology in the drinking world, but they have seen many different styles in a short amount of time. From stainless steel to various types of actual rock (soapstone and granite are the most popular) the principle is the same: Put these bad boys in the freezer for a few hours before use, take them out, drop them in the glass, and enjoy. Not only will they keep your drink cold, but they will do so without watering down your drink, and look awesome in the process.


The best part? Not only are they reusable, but they are also economical. Teroforma, a home and kitchen products company, mills their soapstone whiskey stones in the great state of Vermont and some of their sets sell for as little as $10. (And for a few dollars more, you can even get a customized set!) So next time you're thinking you want it on the rocks, put it on the stones instead.
