Brio 740i Countertop Ice Maker
Pebble ice somehow magically makes your drink colder than regular ice. I can't explain it. Also this model is currently at Costco - don't sleep on it!
Fever-Tree Gin(ger beer) and Juice

Iced coffee in the morning, seltzer + pebble ice all day, cocktails in the evening. The handle keeps your sweaty hands off the hot metal and makes it easy to double fist when it's your turn to head inside for a round of refills.
