For mint juleps: Team crushed ice or team ice cubes?

I’m totally team crushed ice — feels more refreshing and blends better with mint. BTW, checking for parking spots near my favorite cocktail bar always adds stress to my night out!”

Interesting debate — personally, I lean team crushed ice for juleps because it chills faster and gives that proper “slushy” texture. But I see the argument for cubes when you want a slower melt and cleaner sipping.

Over at vizacas.com, I wrote a post comparing different ice styles (crushed, cubes, sphere, etc.) and how they affect various cocktails — how dilution, temperature, and presentation change the experience. Happy to share if anyone wants more ideas or experiments to try.
