Ice luges work by utilising plastic tubing that travels through the sculpture, or by a simple channel being carved at an angle down the length of the ice sculpture. A channel for pouring alcohol (or any other liquid) is incorporated into the ice sculpture, and then guests are invited to take a shot. At informal affairs, a vodka ice luge can be used as an exciting way to engage party goers and encourage interaction. Ice luge designs can be as complex and conceptual as desired, with endless possibilities for candid photos and videos. These sculptures are ideal for birthday celebrations, but can also be an exciting element to add to a military ball or student union party.
