Sippin on the Rocks, Granite Cubes for Drinks

Filed under: Spirits

Giving a whole new meaning to the term "on the rocks" is the product from a company called Sippin on the Rocks. They sell highly polished cubes made from imported granite directly from quarries in Scotland. The cubes are meant to be placed in a container in the freezer for about one or two hours then placed (definitely not tossed) into a glass and covered with whisky. The cubes are said to enhance the aroma and flavor of the liquor and cool the liquor without diluting it. The cubes come in a gift set, a walnut wood box with two granite cubes and two glasses for $75.

This set of frosted glasses (4) and matching ice bucket looks to have been carved from ice, and although they were not, that is the only way that they could be more environmentally friendly than they are. The glass is recycled and is processed with an electric furnace powered with wind energy. Designed by Andi Kovel, the pieces are all handmade in Portland. Price: $987
