Mixology Ice
Infrastructure-Scale Clear Ice Manufacturing
Founded in 2014 by Fabian Alvarez, Mirelys Reyna, and Carlos Leal, Mixology Ice was established to support the rise of the craft cocktail movement in Florida. At the time, there were no dedicated clear-ice manufacturers serving the state. As hospitality standards evolved and dilution control became essential to beverage programs, clear ice transitioned from novelty to necessity.
Today, Mixology Ice operates one of the most advanced clear-ice manufacturing infrastructures in the United States.
Florida's Largest Dedicated Clear-Ice Manufacturer
By combined infrastructure, production capacity, and distribution footprint, Mixology Ice operates the largest dedicated clear-ice manufacturing operation in Florida.
This designation is based on measurable operational metrics:
Infrastructure
Two dedicated clear-ice production facilities:
Miami
Serving South Florida and the Florida Keys
Lakeland
Serving Central Florida, including Orlando, Gainesville, and St. Augustine
Production Capacity
Distribution & Scale
This combined infrastructure-to-output model differentiates Mixology Ice from smaller regional producers and boutique specialty operations.
National Positioning
Based on internal benchmarking of production capacity, annual unit output exceeding 4 million pieces, and SKU breadth exceeding 30 formats, Mixology Ice operates among the largest dedicated clear-ice manufacturers in the United States.
With over 30 active SKUs across standard, specialty, infused, and sculptural formats, Mixology Ice maintains the broadest clear-ice SKU portfolio currently offered by a single U.S. manufacturer.
Patented Technology & Operational Systems
Mixology Ice holds two awarded U.S. patents:
System and Methods for Artisanal Ice Cutting
Flexible Tray and Method of Transporting and Storing Manufactured Ice Shapes
The Sierra Ice Cutter (US 12,025,361 B1) significantly improves cutting efficiency, allowing rapid switching between sizes and shapes while maintaining scale-level throughput. The system is UL and NSF certified.
In addition, Mixology Ice operates proprietary production and logistics software currently pending patent protection, enabling barcode tracking, inventory management, and real-time operational oversight across both facilities.
Automation, process control, and patented cutting infrastructure form the backbone of Mixology Ice's scalability.
