Citrus-Infused Ice Cubes

The Ice Co's 'Ice & Slice' are Conveniently Pre-Prepared Fruit Ice Cubes

— February 17, 2016 — Lifestyle
It's fairly common to see chilled drinks embellished with citrus ingredients, but these fruit ice cubes from The Ice Co simplify the process of adding flavor to a drink.

The 'Ice & Slice' cubes are three times the normal size of standard ice cubes, which means that they are able to hold more zesty flavor, while also cooling drinks quickly. The size of these cubes also means that they're extremely slow-melting, which prevents drinks from becoming diluted with water. By combining limes and frozen ice cubes, The Ice Co maintains that this is an easy way to ensure there's always lime available, without having to cut or waste any of it.

The Ice Co also specializes in producing a range of inventive ice products, including oversized ice cubes and frozen alcoholic drinks.
Trend Themes
1. Fruit-infused Ice Cubes - Incorporating fruit into ice cubes to add flavor and dimension to drinks.
2. Oversized Ice Cubes - Creating ice cubes that are larger than the standard size to enhance beverage experience and prevent dilution.
3. Convenient Beverage Enhancements - Developing products that easily add flavor and texture to drinks, such as pre-prepared fruit ice cubes.
Industry Implications
1. Beverage Industry - Incorporating fruit-infused ice cubes and oversized ice cubes into drink offerings to distinguish beverage experience and appeal to customers who want more sophisticated or unique beverage options.
2. Hospitality Industry - Hotels and restaurants can utilize pre-prepared fruit ice cubes to create elevated drink offerings for guests, offering flavor variety and reducing waste.
3. Home Appliance Industry - Manufacturing ice cube machines that can create larger and more uniform ice cubes for a better drink experience at home or in commercial settings.
