What is a Vodka Luge?

In simple terms, we take a solid block of pure ice. We carve it using various ice tools (by hand) into the shape you wish. When making the an actual luge (as opposed to ice sculpture), we will hollow-out a 'tube' path from the top of the luge through the midddle to a point somewhere near the bottom making an exit hole.

Traditionally Vodka (though it can be one of a number of drinks) is poured into the top hole of the luge. The guest or recipient will either place their mouth (not really endorsed) or a shot glass (recommended for health and hygiene issues) at the exit point, thus catching the cascading liquid.

Once caught in the shot glass, the idea is then to 'knock-back' the drink in 'one-go'. The fun-part is when the flavoured vodka warms up in the guests mouth - at that point they get the full flavour of the drink in one huge 'kick'!

Vodka Luges are not designed to 'get people drunk'.

Lots of fun and games can be had:

• Team matches:
  • Boys against the girls
  • Mothers versus fathers
  • Fathers versus sons (of drinking age naturally!)
  • Club versus club
  • Families versus families
  • Friends versus family
  • Office mates versus friends
  • and so on

What sort of games?

• Race against the watch (individual or teams)
• Fastest time to pour then drink
• Relay matches couped with 'actions' to do or forfeits
• Copy a drinking game
