The importance of ice in cocktails.

The importance of ice in beverages has always been underestimated, since the only function of ice was to cool and spoil them with water. Nevertheless, this is not the main reason that makes it so essential. Actually, ice balances and helps reduce the perception of alcohol in the drink. Of course, for that, it is important that the product is added in its right measure and, of course, its quality and pureness, such as the Ice Tech one ;).

Ways to present ice in your cocktail.

• Refreshed. To do this, you need ice cubes, a mixed glass and stir it in circular motions from 6 to 8 seconds. In this case Ice Tech ice must removed and not served in the glass, as they have already done their job.
• Smoothie: Usually used when ingredients are dense and creamy. In this case, the product also has to be in cubes shape, mixing it with energetic movements, short, firm and horizontal, until water is condensed and it can then be removed.
• In a glass: it is the simplest elaboration since the ingredients are added one by one into the glass. First the Ice Tech Ice, of course.
• Frozen: The ice used is chopped down. In this case, you have to liquefy the cocktail with the already crushed product, taking care that the crusher doesn’t end 100% with it.

If you need a good quality product, purchase one of the Ice Tech machines. You will notice the difference ;).
