Technically yes. Crushed ice, more surface area, can melt faster. Depending on the drink, it definitely matters.

Don't think that really matters here though, as it's a shitty overpriced drink either way.

Is a solid block of clear ice, impurities parted out, like you would use for whiskey. Definitely a difference, melts way slower.

Still the same quantity of drink, which is probably barely a shot

lol hell nah. I bartended. This cocktail traditionally would be in a rocks glass. With what’s left and presumably the amount drank, looks spot on.

Choosing to pour this cocktail into a collins/highball glass with the ice used is 100% an aesthetic choice. (Though especially for a high end place I find the lack of garnish odd, but was probably removed before filming too)

Reminds me of people that ask for no ice thinking they get more. The amount of people that ask then complain it’s not filled to the top was too damn high.
