The best way to enjoy a Smirnoff Ice is by making your friends drink it (ideally when they least expect it). After much deliberation, I’m excited to announce the Top 10 Ices Of all Time.

1. George takes a shower

By this point in time, George should have known there was an Ice waiting for him in the bathroom at his bachelor party. I just skewed the odds by putting an Ice in all of the towels… just in case.

2. Sean tries “working from home” at Zach’s bachelor party

This man deserves a raise for trying to get work done while everyone else was playing beer pong. But little did he know there was a full bottle of Smirnoff Ice sitting inside his water bottle, with the straw perched inside the bottle.

3. George’s formal dinnerware

George is probably my favorite person to Ice because he’s a good sport about it. The scenario below played out at Evan’s wedding– Carter and I slipped into the venue before the wedding started and tucked an Ice into George’s napkin when he sat down.

4. The “Ice” cold birthday cake

With how many Ices I give out, I’m well aware that there’s a huge target on my back. I just didn’t see this one coming. I thought it was a little odd when Carol and Kayla insisted that I cut my own birthday cake, and for good reason… there was an Ice baked right into the cake.

5. Ryan claims his spot as “The Winner of The Losers”

In our fantasy football league, you have to Ice yourself if you score the least amount of points in any given week. Here’s a recap of last year’s Ices– check out the full blog post here.

6. Carter goes 4 for 4 in the Revolution Blind Taste Test

There are somewhere between 18 and 24 unique flavor of Smirnoff Ice. Our group has probably kept Smirnoff in business over the past 10 years, yet somehow only Carter could correctly identify all of the flavors in this variety pack.

7. The Gift of Giving

If you receive a Christmas present from someone in the Revolution, be wary— chances are it’s an Ice waiting to happen.

8. The Easter Beer Hunt

I think Carter actually likes Smirnoff Ice– In fact he’ll often go out of his way to find them. For Easter, George hides beers in his yard instead of Easter Eggs (spoiler alert: there are always Ices mixed in). Several people but pretend not to see the Ices… but not Carter.

9. The wedding party assembles

Most people give their friends a gift when asking them to be in their wedding party… These guys all got Ices.

10. Revenge served “Ice” cold

Ugh someone (I think it was Bobby?) got me at my own wedding. I had brought a 12 pack so I could strategically plant some Ices throughout the day but it mysteriously disappeared at some point during the day. Several hours later I go up to the bar to find out everyone else (including the bartender) was in on it.

Honorable Mention: The Long Game

Sometimes the best Ices require delayed gratification. Carol dodged Ices all night but ended up finding a sugary beverage to go with breakfast.

We must’ve run out of Ices this day but Andrew is a legend for taking down a Fresca this quickly.
