Névé offers an assortment of ice shapes to accommodate your needs. While we specialize in the production of ice for cocktails, our cubes can also be used to maintain the wonderful flavor of any drink you deem worthy: iced tea, lemonade, punch, ice coffee, soft drinks, etc.
1.5" by 1.5" by 4" Cube
Collins Cube is perfect for tall glasses, lowering the temperature of your drink without
affecting the carbonation with excessive water. Use this ice for
Moscow mules, Cuba libre, Cape Cod, or one of the most popular cocktails of all time, the Gin & Tonic.
Crack this cube with a bar spoon to create small and large cubes to make stirred
drinks with. The large pieces will provide the chill needed, and the small
pieces will provide the dilution needed.
2" by 2" by 2" Cube
Made for shorter and wider glasses.
Use this ice cube for most cocktails and fine spirits served on the rocks.
Example: Sours, Margarita, whiskey
Crack this cube with a bar spoon to create small and large cubes to make cracked ice drinks with.
Example: Caipirinha, Gordon's cup
1.5" by 1.5" by 1.5" cube
The Mini Rocks cube is the smaller sister to the Rocks cube. Made for all glassware and all applications.
Use this ice cube for all cocktails across the board and to shake with.
So which drinks should be shaken? The rule of thumb
is all drinks that contain citrus. Example: Gimlet, Sours, Daiquiris, Daisies, etc.
The problem with crushed ice is that you have to put heat into the ice to crush it.
You either shave it (warm sharp blade on ice) or smash/crush it (usually a machine
or sometimes done by hand), but either way it will be a watery mush when you're ready to use it in
your cocktail.
Not with our ice. Our Nugget ice is specifically frozen in its nugget
shape to minimize the
dilution upon contact with your drink.
