Description

  The present invention relates to alcoholic beverages, and particularly to alcoholic beverages with ice such as water splits.

  In liquor, you may drink liquor straight, such as whiskey, gin or other Western liquor, Japanese liquor, shochu, etc., but you can divide it with mineral water and ice and drink it as water or drink it with ice only. There are many ways to drink using ice.

  In the case of such a way of drinking, it is necessary to prepare the sake, mineral water, and ice separately.

  And every time you drink, you add alcohol, mineral water, and ice to make a water split and drink it.

  In particular, ice requires a freezer, and in the case of a lump of ice, it needs to be crushed with an ice pick or the like, which is troublesome.

  As a conventional technique, for example, in JP-A-07-146044, a drinking container is set so that a small ice making machine sealed in a container having a lid can be attached and detached. Put the water in the container, cover it, freeze the water in the ice maker in the freezer, then remove the ice maker from the container and return the ice to the container, so that you can provide rock liquor. .

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-063749 discloses ice for frozen liquor that does not require splitting, in which lump ice and flaky ice are separately frozen in a multi-cavity block shape with a large cup insertion size. The flake-shaped ice melts, so it is not necessary to replenish the split liquid. Using oolong tea, lemon water, etc., it is possible to easily make strawberries.
