Glace Luxury and Expensive Ice Cubes
Glace Luxury Ice Co introduced most expensive and luxury handmade ice cubes. These cubes are definitely worth the dough, because they provide minimum dilution and maximum cooling. Their luxury ice is also tasteless, which allows consumers to maximise the beverage experience at high profile parties and events.
Each cube is hand-carved from a 300-pound, 8,000-cubic inch block of purified ice, which is made by freezing water from the outside so the center of the ice is stirred to allow gases to escape. When they are almost frozen, they are drained and replaced with sprayed layers, making them perfectly clear in appearance.
Then, they are shaped into cubes or spheres, completely clear and free from impurities. The cubes measure exactly 2.5 inches on each side, and can last up to 40 minutes in a drink. The spheres are supposed to be the most mathematically efficient way to cool your drink – they can last for 20 to 30 minutes, owing to their smaller size. The ice is then stuffed and sold in re-sealable bags, with a one-way air valve to push out possibly dirty ambient air. So even if they do melt, you are left with a bag of pristine water.
Here's the shocker – the giant blocks of ice cost only about $60 to $100, and are enough to make 500 luxury cubes. And the company is selling them at over $300 dollars for a bag of 50.
