Our Craft

Every block of our crystal-clear, luxury ice is the result of precision, patience, and craftsmanship - We don’t just freeze water... we sculpt clarity.

Ice is the unsung hero of every cocktail just as vital as the spirits, mixers, or garnish. The right ice elevates flavour, presentation, and the entire drinking experience. At our Ice Studio, we blend old-school craftsmanship with modern precision to create the ultimate premium cocktail ice.

Here are our top tips to get the most out of our Luxury Crystal-clear Cubes.

Storage

Store clear ice in airtight containers or silicone bags at 0°F (-18°C). Don’t overcrowd - use an ice bin to protect clarity and prevent sticking.

Temper

Before use, let the cubes sit at room temp. for 3-5 min. This softens the outer layer, preventing cracks, keeping cubes clear, and preserving flavour.

Transport

Transport clear ice in an insulated cooler with ice packs. Keep cubes in a single layer, separated by parchment or cloth, avoid direct contact with ice packs, and move quickly to preserve clarity.

Handling

Handle clear ice with clean tongs or gloves to avoid smudges or contamination. Work on a dry surface, and if cutting, use a sharp knife or ice pick quickly to keep cubes pristine.

Serving

Serve crystal-clear ice in transparent glasses to showcase its beauty. Pair with premium drinks, use large cubes or spheres for slow melting, and add herbs or citrus for a bespoke finish.

FAQ

Ice is a vital ingredient in nearly every drink, yet it’s often overlooked. We carefully select premium spirits, mixers, fresh juices, and garnishes, but the choice of ice deserves equal attention. During shaking or stirring, ice contributes 25-30% dilution to a cocktail, making its quality essential. Ice chills, balances, and refines your drink while adding visual elegance, serving as a striking centrepiece.

Ice Me Nice enhances every drink, from sparkling water to craft cocktails or spirits enjoyed neat, elevating your experience with Abstract Ice. It’s perfect for shaking or stirring cocktails. Experiment with various ice shapes and sizes in distinctive glassware (see our product section for details). Tempering your ice is key—let it sit in the glass for 3 minutes before pouring to avoid shocking and cracking the ice (though cracks can add unique beauty). Store ice in its packaging or a sealed container to maintain quality in your freezer.

Craft ice is essential for any sophisticated drink. Ice Me Nice’s artisanal cubes are crystal-clear and slow-melting, enhancing your drink’s beauty while maintaining its chill longer. Our ice is carefully filtered to eliminate impurities, ensuring it never compromises your cocktail’s flavor.

IceMeNice’s clear ice is artisanally crafted to ensure unmatched quality and elegance. We begin with water purified through a six-stage reverse osmosis filtration system to eliminate all impurities. The water is then frozen in a specialized freezer for over 36 hours, forming a pristine, crystal-clear block. Each cube is meticulously hand-carved to create the ideal shape for your favorite cocktail.

When stored correctly, IceMeNice’s ice remains pristine in your freezer for months, though you’ll likely be excited to use it much sooner! Once tempered, our clear craft ice keeps your drink chilled 2-3 times longer than standard cubes.

If your IceMeNice cubes stick together, avoid striking them or using hot water, as this may cause cracking. Instead, carefully use an ice pick or knife to gently separate the seams. The contact with metal will allow the ice to split naturally.

If your IceMeNice craft ice appears frosty or cloudy in the freezer, it may have freezer burn. Tempering the ice by allowing it to gradually reach room temperature can help restore its clarity. Avoid running it under hot water, as this could cause cracking.
