Just be sure to wash your hands after cracking the egg. Also, use a 100 proof brandy such as Christian Brothers Sacred Bond, if you're still worried.

Ice balls are a meme. Yes, they do look cool, but they melt very slowly, leaving a warm layer (warmer than the rest of the drink) on the surface of the drink. So each time you take a sip, you're getting that warm, watery layer.

The Whiskey Cocktail, and all true cocktails for that matter, are best served up, in a chilled cocktail goblet. When the drink is properly stirred and chill- diluted with ice, and then strained into the goblet, you have optimum chill, perfect dilution, and the drink won't further dilute with melting ice.

If you insist on having your drink on-the-rocks, a couple 1-1/4" cubes work best.
