First bar made of glacial ice opens in Patagonia, Argentina
The first ice bar in Patagonia, Argentina, opened last week, which also happens to be the first bar in the world created out of glacial ice, according to Paola Singer of The New York Times. Located just outside El Calafate, Glaciobar is the newest addition to Glaciarium, a new science museum focusing on the region's hundreds of glaciers.
Glaciobar will provide patrons with gloves, hooded capes, and boots for warmth. For health and safety reasons, however, the maximum time allowed in the bar is 20 minutes. During this time, most people choose to sip on the house cocktail, a mixture of Fernet con Coca and Coca Cola.

This is fascinating! The ice-bar concept takes "ice -cold beer" and "scotch on the rocks" to a whole new level! How many of these house cocktails can an average drinker consume in 20 min and how soon can one come back to resume sipping them?
