Squeeze lime into a 14oz chimnet glass full of shaved ice

Shaved ice provides LOTS of surface area, and melts fast.

One will notice that MANY classic old school drinks dont have much mixer... but rather LOADS of shaved or cracked ice. Back in the day, one got a strong drink.. and you sipped it to allow the ice to dilute it, and mingle the flavours.. (unlike today, where you get a plastic cup, with some powdered bar mix, and vodka,.. then slam it down)
