To the casual observer, ice is simply frozen water meant to lower a drink's temperature. Behind our dark emerald bar, however, ice is considered an ingredient of equal standing to our small-batch spirits and house-made bitters.
The Science of Directional Freezing
Standard ice trays trap air bubbles and mineral impurities, causing ice to melt rapidly and cloud your drink with unwanted dilution. By using directional freezing techniques over forty-eight hours, we remove trapped gases to produce dense blocks of pure, crystal-clear ice.
Precision Carving for Every Glass
Each afternoon before our doors open at five, our bartenders hand-carve these blocks into tailored spheres and tall spears. The reduced surface area of dense clear ice ensures your favorite Old Fashioned remains cold and crisp without watering down its character.
