Water Source
Water treated before it ever freezes
By utilizing triple-filtered, degassed water and proprietary processes, we eliminate the air and impurities that cause standard ice to turn white.

Ice clear enough to disappear inside the drink.
Clearwater Ice makes large-format, optically clear cubes, spears and spheres for bars, restaurants and serious home hosts — frozen slowly in one direction, cut by hand, and polished so the glass reads as still water.
Slow Freeze
Seventy-two hours, frozen in one direction
Insulated tanks freeze from the bottom up over seventy-two hours. Air and minerals are pushed ahead of the freeze line, leaving the bulk of the block optically clear.
Cut Room
Cut on a cold table, polished by hand
Blocks are band-sawn to spec on a cold table, then faces can be hand-polished until the cube stops scattering light and starts reading like glass.
Cold Route
Tempered, packaged and routed cold
Ice is packaged in recyclable materials, stored properly, and shipped on a fixed route so it arrives frozen solid instead of melting in a warm delivery van.
Quality
Craft you can audit, not just taste.
Cut exactly to your glass
Tell us the glass and we cut to it. Formats, tolerances and finishes are written down before production, so what arrives matches what was agreed.

Operations
A cold chain built around one perfect block.
Standing weekly cases, one-off events, custom formats and last-minute additions all move through the same cut room and the same cold route — so the ice arrives on the night it is needed, in the shape it was designed for.
