Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

My husband Just got me this cool ice cube tray that will be a fun way to chill out with my music buddies.... Pour the water into the molds and snap the necks into place, and freeze, and get cool guitar-shaped ice cubes with a built-in stir stick for your drink. I added a drop of food coloring to each one for added effect. I'm thinking the yellow food coloring wasn't such a good idea, as it made my ice water look a bit suspicious. But a blue electric guitar was a mighty cool addition to my gin and tonic last night! Wouldn't it be great if they made these in Rickenbacker models? I'm thinking a 330, a 620, and a 4000 series bass shape.

Cool

Quite COLD. actually!

Hmmm.............it's about the yellow one Melissa. The rest are great though.

The yellow looked really bad as it melted into my glass of ice water.... but I suppose it would be okay in a darker drink.

Neat. Hey, what kind of gin?

Don.... yep, it looked just like yellow snow. And then toilet water when the ice melted.

John, the gin was Bombay Sapphire....so of course a blue guitar was a perfect mate for it.

Ahhh, the only gin!! Shoulda known you would drink Bombay Sapphire - a woman of taste.

I'd heard Hendricks was great, but I did not enjoy it nearly as much.

Yes, we've tried the Hendricks too. It was good, but I prefer the lighter taste of the Bombay. It's very refreshing on a hot afternoon or evening.

I take a bottle along to the condo at Lake Michigan. It almost makes it through the week and I'm the only one drinking it.
