Here, we present evidence of a much less commonly seen combination band $-$ one where a photon simultaneously excites two adjacent molecules in an ice. In particular, we present near-infrared spectra of laboratory CO/N$_2$ ice samples where we identify a band at 4467.5 cm$^{-1}$ (2.239 $\\mu$m) that results from single photons exciting adjacent pairs of CO and N$_2$ molecules.
