    Rinse the ice and then keep using it. It’s literally pristine again.

        I’m actually not joking, if you rinse an ice cube. Superficial ice immediately melts and is rinsed away. You could have dipped it in engine oil and it would be immediately pure ice after rinsing.

          My ice cubes are small enough that rinsing them would waste more water than just tossing the very few that fall. I toss em in the sink.

        I have metal versions. I don’t really use em, but they’re for stuff like alcoholic drinks or whiskey on ice but for if you don’t want it to get watered down, just cold. I have two that look like metal golf balls and 6 that are small cubes,and they generally just sit somewhere atm.

        I’ve used em to cool booze before, but I haven’t drank any high percentage alcohol in a while.

          Don’t put ice in your whisky. It’s supposed to be enjoyed at room temperature optionally with a splash of water. If you chill it the aromatic flavours are muted and it tastes bland.

            Propylene glycol/water mix would be my guess; they noticeably don’t crystalize the same way pure water does
