I'm always trying new things when it comes to drinks. One recent discovery I'm quite pleased with is flavored ice cubes. All you have to do is take a liquid ingredient (or dilute the ingredient in water), and freeze it in an ice cube tray. I know this is kind of a novelty, like the guy who put a new ingredient in his coffee every day, but hear me out. Flavored ice cubes can actually be useful.
Case in point: hot foods. They say milk is the best way to get rid of the sensation of hot foods, but it has to be chilled properly and remain in your mouth for quite some time. Solution? Milk ice cubes, which melt very slowly in your mouth. Funny enough, you can also do the opposite and add heat to your ice cubes by picking up some capsaicin.
I encourage everyone to try making a flavoured ice cube at least once. With so many ingredients out there, there is a good chance you'll like at least one ice cube variation. Protip, though: try to pick up some (link removed -- violates ToS) if this becomes a hobby like mine. They don't leech toxins into your ice cubes like plastic trays (lots of PCB).

You do have to be careful cutting the can open.
