Skip, the manufacturer says the nugget ice absorbs the drink flavors. So I think the opposite may be true. Nugget ice absorbs liquid whereas more solid ice does not absorb liquid. But I think this is very dependent on how finely you crush your non-nugget ice and if you pack it into your glass.

Thinking out loud here...... So maybe a comparison of ice by weight so that both glasses have the same ice by weight. Then you measure how much liquid it takes to fill the glass to the top of the ice.

Time to get some Sonic ice and do a test, right? Use colored water so its easier to see, and you don't waste any booze, ha...
