The 2014 Olympics mark another season of winter parties. Is there any better way to banish the Winter Blues than to throw an event in which the drinks may be as dangerous as the runs on the slope? If you want to match the action on the slopes, the thrill of the ski run and the excitement of the luge, why not introduce your guests to Ice Luges. New York is the perfect place to hold such parties.
What is an Ice Luge?
The ice luge, also known as a martini luge, vodka shooter and shooter block, is a sculpture formed from ice. Its purpose is to provide guests with a unique and very cold way to receive their drinks. The sculptor creates an ice design and incorporates into it a narrow channel through which the liquor flows from the top to the bottom.
At the top of the channel, one individual pours the drink. The individual at the bottom waits for its arrival. He or she can then drink it directly from the chute or allow it to pour into a glass for consumption at his or her leisure. Alternatively, the creator of the ice sculpture can make two separate tracks. This allows two separate drinks to be poured. Ice luges at New York parties with two channels often encourage drinking games, particularly races.
Types of Ice Luges
The shape of the ice luge depends completely upon the creativity and ability of those involved. A skilled sculptor can create an ice luge in an amazing number of shapes and types. They can resemble juke boxes or animals. They can be abstract or pay homage to the company for which the party is being held. The format of ice lunges in New York parties and elsewhere can celebrate a specific drink such as Vodka.
Getting it Right
While it is possible to create your own ice luge, it is more common to hire a professional. If you want to wow your family, friends and guests, it is always better to engage someone who has a reputation for creating the best. Whether you want something novel or prefer it to be mundane, make sure the company knows what they are doing. Leave nothing to chance when it comes to wowing with the best ice luges. New York event-goers expect nothing less, so be sure to deliver it.
