[ofhchxnd] Very cold ice cubes

Ice cubes are not all created equal.  The colder the ice cube, the more cooling power it has before it melts and dilutes the beverage.  (But the phase change does contribute 80 C per cubic centimeter, which is a lot.)

The heat capacity of ice is not very high compared to water or other solids.  Create a stirring utensil, which when chilled (perhaps very cold) is "better" than ice, by some subjective measure.
