The proper way to crush ice is definitely not to use the crush setting on your fridge's icemaker. Reason- the crushed ice touches many warm parts and melts too much before you get it in the drink, making the cocktail watery. Instead, put whole ice cubes in a canvas bag, called a Lewis bag. Then use a mallet or muddler to smash the ice. The canvas absorbs the water and you end up with very dry crushed ice that holds up to the cocktail. Who knew?? Jan 18, 2014 5:19 PM
