Well like you I haven't spent much time in T5 GF in recent times, but there is a drinks station set out for cocktails in the middle of the main lounge area, just after where you'd normally be turning left on your way to the CCR. They're made by staff. I may be mistaken, but I believe you order via an app.
The one time I went up to the bar to ask for some ice, I was sent away with my tail between my legs, directed to the kitchen on the way to the old Champagne area. I gained the impression that they weren't interested in doing anything off piste... like ice.
