On the Rocks: Sparq Stones Review and GIVEAWAY!!!

· by · 93 Comments

So here’s the thing: I LOVE LOVE LOVE iced coffee. I usually make it at home to save a bit of money, and I’m usually so impatient to try it that I try to add all my ice to the drink before it has sufficiently cooled down.

The result is watered down coffee. Which is something I DON’T love love love.

I’ve been trying something really fun and different to keep my cold drinks cold but not watery. I’m putting stones in my drinks. And especially in Darah’s drinks.

Yeah, stones. You know…rocks.

Confused by my randomness? Afraid I’ve gone off my rocker? That’s entirely possible, but it has nothing to do with cooling down beverages with stones.

Check out Sparq Stones. Now, these are actually designed to be used with whiskey. Which I’m fresh out of (no, not because I drank it all this morning, silly). But some of you out there might like to throw back an occasional whiskey Mad Man-style, and it is my understanding that whiskey is a drink best served cold (just like revenge!). But watered down whiskey is kind of gross.

Throw a few of these super cool stones in the drink, and problem solved!

I will say that these are not the solution for my iced coffee drinks, as I like to consume Big Gulp sizes in one sitting. The stones don’t get as cold as ice, and so they are ideal for smaller amounts of liquid.

That’s what makes them really fun for toddlers! Maybe it’s odd to serve a child water in a whiskey glass with whiskey stones, but I darn sure do it, and she loves it! 🙂

Also, if you like your coffee hot, these stones can be heated up to help keep your java nice and toasty! Pretty cool, huh?

Sparq Whiskey/Coffee Stones can be purchased here for $19.50

  9. I’ve been wanting a set of whiskey stones for quite awhile now. I like to drink good whiskey straight and chilled would be nice, but if I’m looking for a bit of pick me up I take some blended whiskey and mix it with Pepsi Max which is basically diet pepsi with extra caffeine and some ginseng. I’m very excited to win these stones!

  90. I love water, but every now and then I want something like tea or a soda that is warm, so I add ice, but I don’t care for all the water it adds.
