Clear Ice

Clear ice tastes like pristine water, is denser, has more chilling power and a slower dilution rate as compared to cloudy ice which is less dense and has trapped air and impurities. Cloudy ice is more likely to transfer the taste of your freezer or pipes into your cocktail. A denser solid cube of clear ice will provide a longer period of sipping with minimal dilution.
