Six food-grade ice formats, each suited to a different drink and glass. Sizes, packs and what each one is for.
The cube you expect in a proper bar: solid, compact and without the hollow centre of petrol-station ice. It chills fast, survives the shaker and is the go-to format when you simply need a lot of good ice.
Ready-to-use crushed ice — no crusher, no bashing a tea towel on the counter. It chills a drink in seconds and gives mojitos that frosty look. Keep the bag closed and use it the same day; in a home freezer crushed ice tends to clump.
A sphere has the smallest surface for its volume, so it melts slowly and barely waters down the drink. Pick the diameter by glass: 50–55 mm for narrow rocks glasses, 60–65 mm for wide tumblers.
One cube per glass keeps the drink cold to the last sip. It's the cocktail-bar standard for spirits served on the rock and instantly makes a home bar look professional.
A tall block that fills a double rocks glass and still leaves room for the garnish. Minimal dilution and a clean look — made for signature cocktail menus.
One spear runs the full height of a tall glass. Your G&T stays colder and fizzier for longer because less ice surface touches the tonic.
