OUR PROCESS
Craftsmanship at its finest
At Cold Standard Ice, we take our craft seriously. We believe that the perfect cocktail starts with the perfect ice. That's why we use a unique process to create our ice, ensuring that it's crystal clear and free from impurities. We start by using the purest filtered water available, which we then slowly freeze into 300 lb. blocks using Clinebell brand equipment. Cut into cubes with a commecial food-grade bandsaw, our ice is then double-frozen and bagged for delivery to clients across LA daily.
“It makes a dramatic difference in the drinks.
One of the things I’ve always said to bartenders...
We taste with our eyes first.”
Jim Meehan, bartender and James Beard-winning author
