Uses of Cube, Crushed, and Cocktail Ice
As any chef or bartender will tell you, presentation is everything. That means you need to pay careful attention to every element—even the ice. In order to truly impress your guests, you need to have the right ice on hand for the food and drinks you serve. We can offer you any type of ice you need, and can even help you match your order to your menu.
Cube, crushed, and cocktail ice can be used for food service areas as well as in drinks, as you would expect. Ice cubes last the longest as they have the largest surface area, making them take longer to melt. However, crushed and cocktail ice offer a unique look and texture that can make them preferable to cubes. The precise use will depend on the shape and clarity of the ice you order.
Shape and Clarity
Cubed Ice: These are what you picture when you think of ice cubes. They are perfectly squared and deliver plenty of cooling power. You can use them to keep food bars chilled, and they are ideal for most soft drinks and cocktails. Our cubed ice is available in several different sizes, including big rocks, classic cube, and half cube.
Crushed Ice: Crushed ice is similar to shaved ice, but is in larger pieces. We can control the size of the pieces to suit your specific needs. Since the size makes it easy to fill a cup, it is one of the easiest ways to cool drinks in a hurry. It also looks nice with food displays, such as seafood bars.
Cocktail Ice: Many cocktails call for a specific shape of ice. Shaved, crescent, gourmet, and other shapes are considered to be cocktail ice. We can help you determine which shapes are right for your menu, or we can keep you stocked on a wide variety of ice.
Specialty Shapes: Sometimes, you need something extra special. In many cases, we will be able to fulfill the order for you. Let us know what special shape you are looking for and we can provide you with a quote.
Clarity: In addition to shape, clarity is very important. We can offer you crystal-clear ice that ensures your presentation is as perfect as can be. While the clarity of your ice may seem like a small detail to pay attention to, it is one that makes an incredible difference.
Special Events
No matter how large or how small your event is, you will need ice. We are happy to provide ice delivery services for your event, ensuring everything goes off without a hitch. Not sure if your event needs our service? Below are just of few types of events we have serviced.
Private Parties: From children’s birthday parties to baby showers and more, we have supplied the ice that kept the drinks cool and the food bars chilled.
Company Parties and Commercial Events: Fundraisers, charity events, and even annual Christmas parties all need ice to keep the event going.

Commercial Uses
Even if you have an ice machine, it may not be able to handle the dinner rush. Plus, most restaurants and bars simply do not have the space for multiple machines to make various types of ice. Instead, turn to Crystal Ice for ice delivery. We can schedule delivery for you at the same time each day to make sure you are prepared for any dinner rush.

As noted above, we can schedule a regular ice delivery, or we can come on an as-needed basis. Most orders can be fulfilled within 60-90 minutes of the order being placed. We can deliver the ice to your home, business, or event location. Our ice is available in 7 pound, 20 pound, and 40 pound bags, and we are happy to fill orders of any size.
