Artisan ice producer crafting crystal-clear cubes for NYC's top bars
"Owner Richard Boccato argues that the frozen water used in top-tier cocktails should be treated as an important ingredient. His team starts work as early as 5 a.m. in temperature-controlled freezing rooms to painstakingly freeze, cut, and sculpt perfectly clear cubes, spheres, and columns. The highly perishable product is produced with an emphasis on clarity and precision and is shipped in large volume—over 10,000 pounds per day, six days a week—to many of New York City’s leading cocktail bars." - Terri Ciccone
"Launched in 2011 to produce the large, crystal-clear cubes and blocks favored in Tokyo cocktail bars, this company helped make salon-style ice more widely available to high-end New York bartenders." - Mary Jane Weedman, Bobby Doherty
