LK'S CHAMPAGNE FLUTE SET Bottoms up!
Steel is a good conductor of heat, and according to the second law of thermodynamics, heat spontaneously flows from a warm medium (your hand) to a cold one (your drink). This glass, made of stainless steel, should have been a bad idea scientifically speaking, but LK's was smart and gave the glass a double wall. There's air between the outer and inner walls – a poor conductor of heat – so your sparkling wine stays colder for longer, especially if you also throw in an ice ball (see below). (Cyril, you need to stop putting ice in your bubbly – Ed.) The glass also has a lid with a spout for sipping. It prevents your Method Cap Classique from spilling when your speedboat is jostled by waves on the Vaal dam. The glasses are sold in a set of two, and each holds 150 ml.

EASYICE 6 BALL ICETRAY On the ball
This ice tray consists of two hemispherical parts that attach to each other. Here'show it works:You fill the tray with water until it's full, close the cap, and place the ice tray in a freezer – upright orBPA-free plastic that meets food standards, and the cap is universal so you can replace it with a regular cool drink bottle cap if it gets lost. Smart! For an extra touch to your welldeserved gin and tonic, the manufacturer suggests placing herbs or fruits in each cavity before freezing the water.
