Ice & cooling
Ice tools for better cocktails: trays for large cubes, spheres and clear ice, plus picks, saws, mallets, tongs, scoops, Lewis bags, ice stamps and ice buckets. Large, dense cubes melt more slowly and dilute your drink less, which is why good ice matters as much as good ingredients.
How to choose ice tools
Start with trays for large cubes or spheres for drinks served on the rocks, and a tray of standard cubes for shaking. For crystal-clear ice, use a clear ice maker. To crush ice for juleps and tiki drinks, use a Lewis bag and a wooden mallet; to shape a block, an ice pick or a Japanese ice saw. Ice stamps press a pattern or a logo onto a large cube. Browse ice trays and ice buckets and coolers.
Most items are from Alkademie, including clear ice makers, picks, tongs and stamps, along with the Aisu Nokogiri Japanese ice saw, a Yamachu ice pick, Lehmann Salsa buckets, Cuisinox coolers and BruMate backpack coolers. Delivery across Canada and in store in Montréal and Québec City.
FAQ
Why use large ice cubes?
A large cube has less surface for its volume, so it melts more slowly and dilutes the drink less.
How does an ice stamp work?
Press the stamp onto a large cube for a few seconds; the metal melts its pattern into the ice.
What is a Lewis bag?
A canvas bag for crushing ice with a mallet; the canvas absorbs water, giving drier crushed ice.
