Go get yourselves a mallet and Lewis Bag.

I concur with Quince; after limping along for a while with a cloth napkin and rubber mallet, I finally got the Schmallet set from Cocktail Kingdom and regret not doing so much sooner. In addition to the aforementioned benefits, it’s mighty satisfying to smash ice by hand with a large wooden mallet. I use a cutting board under the Lewis bag to help absorb the shock of each blow.

Plus, one can still “batch” crushed ice like Mike suggests; that’s what the bartenders at Hidden Idol in Denver do.
