As the temperature drops and the world outside glistens with frost, it’s a reminder that something so commonplace in the world of mixology, ice, is one of the main sources of wintery enchantment. From the crunch of crushed ice to the elegance of ice balls, the festive season provides an amazing opportunity to get creative and play with textures and shapes to really make your cocktails unique. So, here’s a few ideas…
Crushed Ice Concoctions
Crushed ice can evoke the feeling of walking through snow on a bright winter morning. When combined with Christmas flavours, it’s a guaranteed winner! Take the classic Cosmopolitan to new heights by serving it over crushed ice. Vodka, cranberry juice, triple sec, and a splash of lime can come together in a vibrant and chilled cocktail that captures the festive spirit.

Ice Snowballs
Ice balls are like the most perfectly shaped snowballs that we’re all familiar with. They’re a great way to upgrade the bourbon experience all year round but especially in the holiday season. Slow dilution means the flavours evolve with every sip, and the spherical shape adds a further touch of class.

Infused Ice Cubes & Ice Shot Glasses
Infusing ice cubes with flavours such as spiced apple (by mixing apple cider with cinnamon), gingerbread flavours, or pure cinnamon, is an incredible way to make an unforgettable drinking experience. Combine these infusions with our silicone shot glass mould to take the standard shot experience to another level.

The Art of the Ice Pick
Create a winter landscape in your glass with an ice-pick-carved ice sculpture. Carve intricate pine tree designs into a large block of ice and serve your favourite gin or vodka cocktail over the frozen forest for a dramatic and visually stunning presentation. Or craft a shot luge with a winding path through a block of ice for an interactive feature.
