Well, as a alternative, you could use steel ice cubes. Or iced steel cubes... or sticed eel cubes... whatever...
But seriously, I use steel ice cubes for my whiskey on the rocks. I also don't like it if the drink gets diluted with water from ice cubes. Atmittedly, steel ice cubes are expensive (but reuseable of course) and not as effective as water ice - but they don't change the drink. You can find them on Amazon for $15 a dozen, or so.

I have those rocks that do the same thing. They sit in the freezer and are used for drinks when required. They don't soak up the flavours of the drink or water down of course. They're pretty good for scotch. I've not heard of the steel ones but they'd do the same I guess.
Yes, I have 2 rock disks as well, its granite I think. They came with a whiskey gift set. The steel cubes are not solid steel btw., they are filled with some liquid like the cooling packs for cold boxes.
Ice cubes that don't water down the drink are such a good idea huh?
They certainly are. I remember when I went to McDs (I dont go there anymore), I was always annoyed about their cokes - it was basically a big cup of ice with a splash of coke to fill the gaps. And it tasted accordingly. So I ordered saying "No ice, please." They didn't like that much, one could tell.
Yep, I've been there myself, I think most journeymen of life have. The smart ones order with no ice.
