These new ice cubes will not water down or change the taste of a drink – because they are made from stainless steel.

The inert metal cubes will suit connoisseurs who prefer their liqueur on the rocks but cannot stand their drinks being watered down by ice.

The stainless steel cubes, known as a ‘Puc’, also let the drinker more accurately control the temperature as they become colder the more are added.

The stainless steel cubes are designed to cool drinks without watering them down like ice cubes

The stainless steel is inert meaning it will not add anything to the drinks or change the taste


Designer Dave Laituri, 51, from Wayland, Massachusetts, said he was inspired by the former trend of using cold ball bearings to ‘ice’ drinks.

He said: ‘Early in my design career, I heard a
story that famous designer Raymond Loewy used to drink scotch with
chilled with ball bearings.

‘He was quite the classy guy and I’ve
heard of other famous people from that era using ball bearings to chill
their drink of choice.

‘By using ball bearings, it doesn’t
dilute the drink with excess water, and that image has always stuck with
me for some reason.’

However, he changed the shape because he said the balls would move around too much as the drinker sipped.

He said: ‘The ball bearings were too mobile and would often take a leap for freedom and roll across the floor when given the chance.


‘But with the marshmallow-like “puck”
shape, they tend to stay put, live at the bottom of the glass for the
duration of the drink and are easier to manage.

Very cool because your drink doesn't get watered down.
However you might choke if you get drunk.

I can smell the lawsuits brewing from people choking or chipping teeth somehow.

Still looks really cool though!

Seems like a potential choking hazard to me. The reason ice is preferred is because it melts, thus reducing the likelihood of choking to death on one. Upon reaching the last of the drink, tipping the glass at a greater angle is going to result in a mouth/throat full of metal cubes. Fuck that.

"cool" idea but too dangerous to use for customers like mentioned above not too mention i like to crush ice cubes with my teeth instead of crushing my teeth on stainless pucs lol
