Square Ice

Upscale bars and cocktail lounges like slow-melting square ice for clientele with discriminating palates. Square ice features the most classic ice shape that elevates the presentation of any drink. These cubes are particularly stunning in glasses of scotch and fine whiskey.

Square ice machines produce 1” x 1” x 1” ¼" cubes that stay crystal clear and don’t water down drinks as fast as smaller cubes. Their shape creates dazzling light patterns in darker whiskeys and rums. Each cube stacks nicely in high ball cocktails, ensuring drinks stay cold from the bottom to the top of the glass.

The signature “rhomboid” shape of Manitowoc’s Regular Cube maintains the slow melting properties of traditional square ice cubes, with a unique twist. Manitowoc’s series of Regular Cube ice makers produce 1 1/8” x 1 1/8” x 7/8” cubes and can produce as much as 1800 lbs of ice every 24-hours. These machines are ideal for high volume bars that specialize in top shelf spirits and cocktails.

Both Hoshizaki and Manitowoc ice makers use easy-to-clean evaporator plates that turn the cleanest water into crystal-clear cubes. With biannual preventive maintenance that we offer at no extra cost through our subscription, square ice makers stay at peak performance and continue producing ice years beyond their average lifespan.
