Always
chill a
glass before you use it. There are three easy ways to make a glass
cold quickly:
Put the glass in the refrigerator or freezer (a couple hours) before use.
Fill the glass with crushed ice just before using.
Fill the glass with cracked ice and stir it around before pouring in the drink.
If refrigerator space is not available for chilling before use, fill each glass with ice beforehand instead. When the drink is ready, empty the glass, shake out all of the melted ice, and then pour in the drink.
