Most Expensive Ice in the World
We've had to pay for large amounts of ice for sometime now, but one company has given us the world's most expensive ice.
Gläce Luxury Ice Co. have got away from the tiny square block of ice and created a more pleasing sphere. Each sphere is carved by hand and made with pure water to preserve the flavorr of high-end drinks. The company also recommends you let the ice “age” for 3-4 minutes once you’ve taken it from the freezer - unless you want your little precious to “crackle” or “spider” and we really can't have that now can we. Especially when you're paying nearly $12 per sphere!
Gläce isn’t the first company to make ice spheres for cooling your drinks. Okamoto Studios—New York’s most expensive ice sculptors—once made ice balls for an event at a bar. Using a leather strap, screws and dog bowls, they made ice balls for patrons’ drinks. By using differently sized bowls, they were even able to vary the sizes of the balls. Cheers!
