An ice luge, or shooter-block as it is sometimes known by, is made by either sculpting or molding a block of ice into a drinking apparatus. Its original use was for keeping oysters cold and was originally found only in oyster bars. It evolved into a bar and party drinking tool or game. Someone got the idea that shots or beer can be poured at the top of a luge and the liquid chills as it travels down the chutes into the mouths of happy drinkers. Now there are a variety of designs and sizes from small individual luges to large ones that can accommodate many drinkers at once. There is even a sub-culture of bars nicknamed ice bars that are completely ice luge themed.
An Ice Luge in Long Island NY is a long block of ice that has a curved channel carved through the middle. The block is made to either be propped up at one end or the block is formed or carved so that one end sits higher than the other, giving it a downhill appearance. A beverage, typically beer or vodka, is poured from the higher end into the curved channel and it flows down the luge and out at smaller drinking channels that have been carved out or molded into the ice. There are also smaller versions where a shorter block of ice is molded or carved for individual ice luges. The alcohol travels down through the channels into the mouth of the generally happy drinker.
