With plenty of buddies on the way, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to build the vodka luge. A vodka luge is a large block of ice with a tunnel spiraling through it – not unlike a luge run. Vodka is poured through an opening in the top and after a brief journey through the ice, thoroughly-chilled vodka comes out of the bottom into the mouth of a willing recipient.

We took 5 gallon bucket and inside it, laid a length of tubing with a funnel attached at the top. We then filled the bucket with water and let it freeze outside overnight. The next morning, we pulled the block of ice out of the bucket and extracted the tubing. All that was left to do was to break out the vodka.
