An ice luge, a staple of college parties, is a large block of ice with a carved channel snaking down the length of it. Alcoholic beverages pour down the channel into eager mouths. Avoid the cost of purchasing a luge by making one yourself with a few simple household items.
Instructions
1. Purchase a storage container with the dimensions 2' x 4' x 6".
2. Fill the container with cool water. Leave an inch between the water level and top of the container.
3. Place the container into the freezer. Prop one end up two inches off the ground to angle the ice.
4. Carve an S-shaped path down the ice. Using a knife or chisel, cut length-wise, roughly 1 inch wide. Center a single luge down the middle. If creating dueling luges, evenly space them down the ice with enough room for two people at the bottom.
5. Remove the ice from the container. Using a measuring cup, pour 2 cups of 110 degrees Fahrenheit water down each luge. Pour over a sink to catch the runoff. The hot water smooths the path and forms the lip. Optionally, you can chisel out a lip and smooth with additional hot water.
