Here's an interesting idea via Instructables.com: make an ice straw for your favorite cold beverage.
IKEA sells trays that create the straws for you. They are long ice cube tray-ish racks. You put a regular straw in each section (you might have to cut them a bit) with a little clay at each end so water doesn't get inside. Freeze them for a few hours and then take out the straws with a little skewer.
Full directions at the link above. Click on or hover on the photos on the top of the site.
