What am I supposed to be amazed by? The overuse of dry ice?

11 year bartender here and this stuff makes me cringe. I understand there’s a demand for this but the pageantry and techniques just scream $30 cocktail that you have to wait forever to get. This shits getting out of hand.

Well, Mr. 11 year bartender, if he's only charging $30 for an 18 year Yamazaki and giving me a show with it, I'll gladly take two.

Bigger the ice, less dilution. Keeps the drink cold but doesn't make it as watery.

I bet if you did the insane math of a glass of broken ice, which is completely submerged in the whisky, vs a single large rock of ice, which is not submerged, the broken ice would have a huge amount more surface area exposed to the booze
