Happy Friday! 🥃
I spent the entire week in San Francisco and didn't experience a single clear ice moment. Can you believe that? Part of the reason was I was locked up in meetings the entire time. There was quite a bit more powerpoint watching than clear ice drinking... let's just say that.
I hope your week had way more clear ice experiences than mine. If not your week, then perhaps your weekend. My fridge is actually empty of clear ice at the moment. I brought my last bag to a party last Friday. Time to break down another block tomorrow!
Ok, let's get into it!

No articles from the site this week. Between travel and job obligations, I wasn't able to pull anything together. Visit the site to catch up on what you might have missed the last couple weeks.
I did bring some clear ice to a work gathering of Irish Whisky tasting for St. Patrick's day. Once again, everyone there had never seen clear ice before and was amazed.
