Spring is finally here, and time to start thinking about warmer weather activities. Entertaining with friends and family is fun when the weather is hot, and the drinks are cold. The time is now to make sure your ice maker is in working order and ready for action!
Just as there are dozens of decisions when it comes to buying refrigerators, now cold beverage lovers have a choice when it comes to the shape of ice that works best for their drink.
Here’s a look at some of the most popular options when it comes to putting your drink “on the rocks.”
- Crushed ice/pellet ice
Some home refrigerators offer this type of ice, but they are often made in commercial or stand-alone ice makers. These pellets are popular for an icy soda. They are also good for drinks that don’t mind a little dilution since the small pieces melt quickly. - Crescent cubes
Many refrigerator-installed ice makers produce these cubes rounded on one side and flat on the other. The shape is designed to prevent splashing when a liquid is poured on it. - Circle ice
This is a gourmet ice that is round and hollow in the middle. You can find these mostly in portable ice makers or under-counter mounted machines. - Large clear cubes
Slow melting large cubes are perfect for straight drinks like whiskey. Creating the perfect bubble-free ice cube is tricky and requires a specific mold. - Rods
Everyone carries their own personal water bottle now and so specialty ice trays made to create cylindrical ice is a popular way to keep that water cold.
