I find it most difficult to keep from dropping the ice.
Is there a certain speed where the little drink umbrellas achieve maximum lift or is that more of an angle of lean phenomena?

Good question! More testing is required...

Like so full that the liquid cohesion had the martini level above the rim! Then he had members of the audience drag him around the gymnasium while he held the glass. He didn't spill one drop! Of course it doesn't work as well if you have fruit or an olive in it.


But hey, don't sell yourself short Mick. Trailer drinking is an art form in itself. If you can back up a trailer with a drink in one hand you are killing it. I'm lucky if I can even hold a beer can while backing the boat down the ramp. For that I use Mic Ultra because I don't want to spill anything better.



I thought it was 18 degrees?

FNGonaRK - can we get a ruling on this?
Are we talking about the bars, or the drink?

Dammit, Bob, I just tried the mixed drink no spill move. Can you suggest a fruit juice remover for full quill boots?

depends on whether or not you have lowers on the bike.. buffeting changes everything.

You have to get the umbrellas into still air.
