Monopolistic Penguins: How Ice Got in Your Glass
Have you ever held a cool, refreshing cocktail in your hands and thought, "I sure wish this was room temperature"? No? Well let's just say you have one man to thank for that. In this episode of the Tipsy Timeline, we look at a world before ice machines, ice cubes, and refrigeration. We explore what the trials, tribulations, and guts it took to make it happen. So grab a glass, pour a drink, and add some ice as we take you on another Tipsy adventure through history.
This is the story of Frederic "The Ice King" Tudor and how he brought ice to the masses and their cocktails. If you liked this episode consider joining our Patreon and buying us a beer at TipsyTimeline.com/Support.
