Have one tuned to major chords for happy drinks, one to minor for scary drinks.
Or maybe the bartender mixes using the minor chords mixer as a warning that you're at your limit.
For science!

Probably better to specify it as a glockenspiel. A xylophone typically has wooden bars. Those might get soggy. |
|
| |
But how do you make the ice cubes hit the right bells at the same time for each chord? |
|
| |
There's only one chord, so happy major chord or "scary drink" or "you've had enough" minor chord. Would have multiple octaves so it would have a full sound though. |

Could also just have a ball you put in that has jingly bits. |
|

I like the idea, but I suspect it wouldn't work with liquid sloshing around, and ice would likely get wedged in between the musical components, rendering them nonfunctional and making it a pain to clean quickly. |

Yea, that's why I was thinking the ball with bells in it thing might be better. Don't they already put balls in drinks to help mix them? (Hu huh. Balls.) |

Yes, but like ice cubes the noise they make is, well, like a cocktail shaker. Decent percussion, rhythm kind of instrument. I don't know how much of a jingle bell's tone would come through when inside the shaker, mixed in with the drink. I guess I could experiment though ... for science! (link) |

You could try it with some little Christmas jingle bells in a tea ball... hmmm. I have a tea diffuser but no bells. |
|
| |
Yea, jingle bells in a ball shaped cage. Easy. |
|

Jingle balls, Batman falls, Robin laid an egg... |

Ahh the classics. Slight modification totally appropriate. |
