I actually think one of the coolest (and definitely most "patrician", heh) drinks is Mizuwari . . . or Japanese "whiskey and water".

Its generally served on the rock . . . . as in a SINGLE amazing perfectly spherical and clear piece of ice. This chills and just slightly dilutes the whiskey without overly watering it down. I actually bought a mold to make the ice spheres myself, though in Japan they're usually chipped and shaved down by hand!
