Ordering a drink "on the rocks" at W Hotel's Point of View Lounge is not so simple. That's because the lounge serves ice five ways: cubed, shaved, chopped, speared and spherical. Each type of ice is designed to give specific drinks the optimal temperature and dilution level—no blenders here. In fact, POV has a walk-in freezer devoted almost entirely to ice, and "ice harvesting" is a scheduled part of their kitchen routine. The man behind the ice program is Sasha Petraske, owner of speakeasy Milk and Honey In New York. Though Petraske shied away from our camera, POV bartender Logan Skidmore stepped in to show us how to chisel away at a 25-pound block of ice and what to with the Japanese contraption they use to turn rugged chunks of ice into smooth spheres. Watch the video below.

I like how he put his hand on his face when talking about the shaved ice.

Great video! How much does the spherical "Bourbon on the Rock" drink cost? Can’t imagine it’s cheap with all that icy labor.

Logan Skidmore is so cute!

The ice sphere is awesome. I just can’t believe they make them one at a time. That’s serious commitment.

I have a tray that makes spherical ice. Got it from a Japanese dollar store in San Francisco
