Elevating the Ice Cube

Elevating the Ice Cube

Crafty bartenders know there are infinite opportunities for innovation behind the bar. Every element of a cocktail is a flexible puzzle piece that can be reconfigured in a million different ways. Glassware, garnishes, and rimmers all provide a space for transformation. Bartenders excel in the craft of adding a little bit of this and a pinch of that to create something brand new. At Twisted Alchemy, we believe in elevating every element of the cocktail. We know that bartenders invest creative time and energy into every drink. We founded Twisted Alchemy to honor this spirit, and to give these talented bartenders the tools they need to be constantly elevating and evolving. We saw bartenders inventing new and delicious cocktail rimmers to bring exciting new elements to classic cocktails. In response, we created our Habanero Salt Rimmer and our Gold Lemon-Infused Sugar Cocktail Rimmer to facilitate beautiful cocktails with ease. As we searched for new areas to develop, we discovered an opportunity to elevate cocktails even further- the ice cube.

DIY magazines have been publishing crafty recipes for unique ice cube treats for years. TikTokers regularly post viral videos about cold brew ice cubes (good-bye watery beverages!). High-end cocktail bars spend hours of prep time precisely suspending flowers in their ice cubes. The ice cube is an essential ingredient in a cocktail. Whether it goes into the shaker or awaits spirits in the glass, the ice cube is the foundation of a perfectly temperate cocktail. But we didn’t see why its influence should stop there. The ice cube presents an opportunity to infuse flavor and color and excitement into a cocktail. 


Our pure, cold-pressed juices are the perfect elements to transform the ice cube into a work of art. A lightly flavored orange juice ice cube is a surprising and fun addition to an Old Fashioned. A richly colored watermelon ice cube can elevate a vodka soda into something unique. A flavored ice cube brings an intentional element to the art of cocktailing. A bartender that takes the time to hand craft and select an ice cube to perfectly compliment the flavors of a beverage elevates themselves to the status of artist. At Twisted Alchemy, we believe in providing the tools to facilitate this development. We believe that every cocktail has the potential to be something surprising, delightful, and beautiful. And we know how to help you make it happen.
