Hi Skavenloft, maybe bartending is just not your fieldof interest. First of all, the ice is not normal ice. It is frozen with a special technique and therefore it is cristal clear. Second, the ice cubes available from industrial sources are pretty small. Having such a large ice cube in the glass gives the drink a low temperaure for a long time without watering the drink with too much melting water. And last not least, this bartender is not only carving cubes but also other forms that accomplish the drink best. And be sure, his "boredom" pays well, because his guests really appreciate the special touch of their cocktail. By the way...he is pretty fast in carving ice cubes
Wow, thank you for that explanation, to be honest, I do not know anything about bartending nor te coctail making, but now I understand what's going on here
