I bet that keeps you warmer, longer, during those cold winter nights/days/whatever! Do they still have state liquor stores in Salt Lake?

My Bodum double wall cups get similar treatment, but the lime is skipped. Lime with Patron, shame, shame. They also work good for single malt and Port. I have used the steam wand on the Elektra to flash heat water for making pasta and steam towels before a shave.

Those Bodum glasses work well for a drop or two of good Brandy as well!
