WRAPS UP TOMORROW WITH
LIVE TV COVERAGE ON THE
GOLF CHANNEL.
IT'S ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT INGREDIENTS IN
YOUR COCKTAILS BUT
PROBABLY ONE YOU DON'T
THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT.
THIS MONK WE'RE JOINED
OF ICED CUBE HAWAI'I TO
TALK ALL THINGS ICE.
GOOD MORNING.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
OF COURSE SO HAPPY TO
HAVE YOU.
AGAIN, THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT'S IN PRETTY MUCH
ALL OF OUR DRINKS BUT A
LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T TAKE
NOTICE OF IT UNLESS IT'S
SOMETHING COOL LIKE YOU
DO.
BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT
THAT, TELL US ALL ABOUT
YOUR BUSINESS.
ICED CUBE HAWAI'I IS
SOMETHING WE STARTED IN
OCTOBER AND WE'RE
FOCUSED ON HELPING
RESTAURANTS AND BARS IN
HONOLULU ELEVATE THEIR
GUESTS' EXPERIENCE WITH
THEIR COCK TAILSZ.
LIKE YOU SAID EARLIER,
NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE
THINK ABOUT ICE AND HOW
IMPORTANT THAT IS IN A
COCKTAIL BUT NOT ONLY
DOES IT COOL A DRINK BUT
ALSO HELPS DILUTE IT IN
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE
WAYS.
IF YOU HAVE THE WRONG
KINDS OF ICE, IT WILL
WATER YOUR COCKTAIL DOWN
A LITTLE TOO QUICKLY AND
NOT CREATE A COCKTAIL
THAT'S GOING TO LAST A
WHILE.
OKAY.
THAT MAKES SENSE.
SO WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
BENEFITS OF I GUESS
HAVING GOOD ICE?
LIKE I SAID EARLIER,
ONE OF THE BENEFITS, THE
HUGE BENEFITS IS
DILUTION SO IT HOPES TO
GREET A GREATER COCKTAIL
FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF
TIME.
HOW DO YOU -- I GUESS
THE MORE PURE ICE.
THE WAY WE GET THIS
CRYSTAL CLEAR ICE IS WE
HAVE A MACHINE AND THAT
CREATES TWO 300 BLOCKS
OF ICE EVERY THREE DAYS.
INTERESTING.
THE WAY THAT WORKS IS
IT'S DIRECTIONALLY
FROZEN FROM THE BOTTOM
UP AND THERE'S PUMPS
CIRCULATING THE WATER
CONSTANTLY SO THE ICE IS
FREEZING IN MICRO LAYERS
AND IT'S NOT TRAPPING
THE AIR BUBBLES AND
IMPURITIES IN THE ICE
WHICH IS WHAT'S CAUSING
THE CLOUDINESS.
IT IS PERFECTLY
CLEAR, NOT A BUBBLE IN
SIGHT.
CARLSON, IF YOU DON'T
MIND, IF I GET A SHOT
FROM THE TOP.
BEAUTIFUL, SUPER COOL.
WHERE DO YOU SELL YOUR
ICE?
RIGHT NOW WE'RE
WHOLESALING SO WE'RE
WOKING WITH, LIKE I
SAID, RESTAURANTS AND
BARS HERE IN HONOLULU.
AND SOON WE HOPE TO WORK
INTO THE RETAIL MARKET
TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS
TO HOMES AND CONSUMERS
ALL ON OAHU.
VERY COOL.
AS WE CAN SEE, YOU
HAVE SOME DIFFERENT
SHAPES HERE.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE
DEMONSTRATING FOR US
TODAY?
WE'RE GOING TO DO A
QUICK CHIP DOWN.
THIS IS WHAT WE TEACH
SOME OF THE BARTENDERS
HOW TO DO.
BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE
DOING IS TAKING A CUBE
LIKE THIS AND TURN IT
INTO A SPHERE.
I HAVE SEEN A SPHERE
IN MY CUP BUT I'VE NEVER
SEEN THE ACTUAL PROCESS
OF IT BEING MADE.
I'M SUPER EXCITED FOR
THIS.
WE HAVE A THREE-PRONG
ICE PICK HERE AND
BASICALLY THE IDEA IS TO
TAKE OFF ALL OF THE
EDGES.
SO THERE'S TWO MAIN
THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING
TO DO HERE.
ALL OF THE EDGES BECAUSE
IT IS A SQUARE AND WE'RE
TRYING TO TURN IT INTO A
SPHERE.
I GUESS THE SECOND ONE
IS TO NOT STAB MYSELF.
THAT'S KEY.
NORMALLY WILL WE HAVE
GUESTS, I'LL USUALLY
VOLUNTEER TO HELP OUT A
LITTLE BIT.
I'M GOING TO LEAVE THIS
ONE TO YOU.
NO, NO, NO.
DON'T HAND IT TO ME.
I'M GOING TO LEAVE THIS
TO THE PROS FOR SURE.
BASICALLY WE KEEP
REPEATING THAT PROCESS
AND GO AROUND AND AROUND
AND AROUND UNTIL WE TAKE
ALL OF THE EDGES OFF.
WE HAVE A LITTLE TV
MAGIC HERE WHERE WE
CREATED ONE EARLIER.
BEAUTIFUL.
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
THAT'S WHAT THAT
LOOKS LIKE.
VERY NICE.
IT'S A LITTLE TOO
EARLY FOR COCKTAILS SO
WE'RE JUST GOING DO SOME
COFFEE HERE.
PERFECT.
HOW GREAT IS THAT?
AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, A
LOT OF PEOPLE, YOU DON'T
REALLY TAKE NTSB OF THE
ICE UNLESS IT LOOKS
SUPER COOL.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE
DRINK.
OH, YEAH, COFFEE.
DO YOU MIND IF I TRY A
SIP.
YOU GUYS, PERFECTLY
DILUTED AS WELL.
,, THAT'S GOOD AND IT'S
CHILLING TOO.
FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO
GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU
BECAUSE AGAIN IF THEY
WANT TO P PARTICIPATE IN
GETTING SOME ICE OR
TEACHING SOME OF YOUR
DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES,
HOW CAN THEY FIND YOU?
YOU CAN FIND US ONLY
AT ICEDCUBEDHAWAI'I.
VERY COOL.
I FEEL SO FANCY.
NO ONE DRINKS ICE COFFEE
AM I RIGHT?
VERY NEAT.
THANKS, TYLER, FOR
JOINING US.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE
COMPANY.
THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
THANK YOU.
