It all began with a drink.

One night in Monterrey, the two of us were sitting at a bar. The cocktails were beautifully crafted, but the ice told another story: cloudy, cracked, and melting too fast. It felt out of place in an otherwise premium experience.

That moment sparked an obsession.

We asked ourselves: if spirits can be aged for years and cocktails designed with such care, why shouldn’t the ice match that same standard? So, we started experimenting—at home, in borrowed freezers, testing purification systems and freezing methods—until we created our first 100% clear, slow-melting cube. It looked like glass, and it changed everything.

Crafted for the ultimate cocktail experience.
