The bergs coming down from Greenland contain ice that is
some 10,000 years old and Captain Dave sent us away with a basketball sized
chunk of the clearest, hardest ice one can imagine. The ice is very dense since nearly all air
bubbles have been squeezed out by the sheer weight of the hundreds of feet of
ice above. We chiseled away on the pint
sized berg at our picnic table, filled our glasses with chips and chunks off
the old block, added our faithful Jack Daniels, and then topped them off with
our normal mixer (no comments you Jack Daniels purists!). The result was a 10,000 year old cocktail
that had all the trappings of ambrosia.
The remaining glacier ice went into our freezer for future 10,001 year
old cocktails.
