Hey guys,

I'm going on a trip with some friends and plan to make a pretty big Mai Tai (750ml) and keep it in a thermos. The thermos does a great job of keeping things cold but I'm still worried about ice dilution.

Have you guys experimented with massive, long-term cocktails on the move? I'm wondering what the best option is. The options I see are...

1. filter the ice out (pouring through a sieve)
2. leave it in
3. leave some of it in.
4. make it the night before, remove the ice, and cool it the night before I go out.
5. Add ice throughout the day and give it a good shake... my theory is that it will do what a Shaker would and cool the drink, but I am talking out of my ass so correct me if I'm wrong :wink:

Any help is much appreciated!
