Here is the concept.
The MORE ice you get, the STRONGER your drink will be.
I know this is a tough concept to grasp for most people.
Your glass should be filled with ice in order for the cocktail to taste the way it should.
A proper tasting cocktail such as a rum and coke should have 1 oz of spirit, and 4 oz of mix. With a full glass of ice, the proper proportions are met. If there is little ice, you will end up with 1 oz of spirit to 6 or 7 oz of mix, making your drink appear watered down.
So remember, next time your bartender puts a load of ice in your drink, he is doing you a favor!
