We've seen some cool guitars in our time - from Hendrix's Strat and Springsteen's bashed-up Telecaster to Brian May's homemade plank and that squiggle-shaped thing Prince plays - but we've never seen anything as cool as Cool Jazz Ice Cube Stirrers. And that's because they're made of ice.

These icy, guitar-shaped swizzle sticks are perfect for thirsty music-lovers. Simply pop the plastic neck sections in the mold, fill with water and put in the freezer. Before you can say 'Stairway to Heaven begins with an arpeggiated chord progression' you'll have a rocktastic cooling system with which to stir your drink. Well okay, you'll have a dinky little guitar made of shimmering ice. Kerrang!


This nifty kit comes with three plastic stir sticks and a flexible tray containing three guitar molds. There's an acoustic, a bass and a Les Paul-alike, so you can match your axe to suit your drink: acoustic for soft drinks, bass for something with a bit more oomph and electric for anything liable to induce a headache.

Speaking of headaches, we're not sure why these frozen twangers are called Cool Jazz Ice Cube Stirrers. Jazz makes us think of pretentious twits who spend all night fiddling with their berets and discussing avant-garde improvisation. Boring!

We prefer to think of them as rock 'n' roll weapons cast in ice. Why, you can even pluck them from your drink between sips and play a bit of air guitar - although guitars this small are liable to make you look more like Tiny Tim (ask your grandma) than Slash.

Brilliant for parties, Cool Jazz Ice Cube Stirrers are sure to add a super-sexy twang to your drinks, and they make regular ice cubes look about as exciting as a night out with Yngwie Malmsteen. Fill the molds with fruit juice or something colorful and guests won't know whether to swish 'em around in their drinks or start headbanging. For those about to stir we salute you!
