Might be good, I like ice cubes made with bitters.

So, as the ice melts your drinking something with exceedingly more bitters? This could be interesting. As it is, normal ice already transforms a drink over time, why not add to that transformation? Cool idea. I've never heard of doing something like this outside of using "rose water ice cubes."

I'd like to try this.

Yeah, this makes mention of use in a Bloody Mary, which I could see working well. I haven't had a drink that uses ice with bitters, so I'm curious: what you typically use those ice cubes in?

one of my favorite drinks - vermelho: novo fogo cachaca, pineapple, gomme syrup, lemon, lime, egg white, angostura bitters cube (large rock)

Aw man, there's no decent cachaca to be had in these parts! Although, I do have some friends in Brazil . . .

Mind walking me through how one would make it?

I have no idea, I just drink them.
