For this ice luge, the drinks go in the top and come out on the front of the glass stem.

You might recognize the similarities of this design to the martini glass that I posted a while back. In fact, this design was based on that design. This luge is a tube luge, meaning you have to incorporate a vinyl tube into the sculpture for the liquid to be poured through. Take a look at the stars luge entry to get more information on this.
Use one of these specialty funnels from Ice Crafters at the top of the ice luge.
One important difference between this design and the stars luge is that the liquid comes out the front of the sculpture instead of the bottom. In order that the liquid doesn’t just flow down the front of the ice or shoot straight out onto your guests, some additional plumbing must be added. I extend the tubing out the front of the sculpture slightly and then use a small elbow that turns the flow of liquid back downwards. See the very end of the entry for a bad photo of this piece of plumbing.
This design comes from a 40x20x4 inch slab of ice. The rectangle at the bottom of the design is used as the base of the sculpture.
