But I don't know if you have found that very few people will choose to drink iced liquor, which is also a spirit, why can Western whisky and domestic liquor not?

Do not add ice directly, and the temperature should not be too low
Senior wine friends know that if the liquor is directly added to the ice, the water formed by the melting of the ice will make the liquor become turbid. This is because the solubility of the rich esters in pure grain liquor is reduced, and the turbidity phenomenon is produced after precipitation, which is also used by many people to identify pure grain wine. In short, the original clear liquor becomes cloudy, which should be acceptable to few wine lovers who like liquor.
In addition, too low a temperature will also lead to inactive wine molecules, resulting in inhibition of wine aroma, and it is well known that drinking high-quality liquor without smelling wine aroma is incomplete, so the temperature of chilled liquor should not be too low, generally more than ten degrees is appropriate.
This series of shortcomings makes liquor very unsuitable for direct ice, so we often say that liquor cannot be iced to drink, in fact, it means that it cannot be directly added to the liquor, and even if the ice temperature is not too low.
Use a wine curler or ice wine stone
Since you can't add ice directly, if you want to drink iced liquor, you can only use a method that does not dilute and can cool down the liquor, and this method is to use an ice jug or ice wine stone, the ice cube is to separate the ice cube and the liquor, and the ice wine stone is a solid such as stainless steel after being directly added to the ice in the wine. These two methods are also commonly used in chilled whiskies and sake, and there is no need to worry about diluting the liquor after directly adding ice to melt.
Mix cocktails

In this way, not only can you drink the iced cocktail mixed with liquor, but also conducive to the promotion of liquor after everyone is accustomed to using liquor to mix cocktails, which can be said to be two birds with one stone.
