Bartender-inspired. Innovation-fired.
Craft cocktail ice should fill a whole lot more than your glass. Fat Ice gets it. We know the bar is a launching pad for customer delight and destination buzz — and our passion is to raise the stakes with every drink made. We’re a partner to thousands of bars, restaurants and casinos because we drive ice beyond functional and deep into the emotional. Higher margins. Bigger tips. Must-have beverages that pose for the camera and create social traction. We make rocks that roll your business forward — rushed straight to your door by a distribution network like no other.
We started humble. Now we rumble.
Fat Ice was born behind the bar in Austin, Texas, to meet real needs of mixologists who wanted to elevate their craft with superior ice. We launched the business way back in 2015 — just as craft cocktails were catching fire and before BIG ROCKS were cool. As a pioneer in craft ice, we set the standard for best-in-class mixology experiences in partnership with leading mixologists and hospitality operators.
For almost a decade, Fat Ice has delivered pure, pristine ice to the hottest hospitality destinations in America. We’ve become a preferred partner because we’ve proven time and again that top-shelf ice is critical to better craft cocktails and that exceptional ice can amplify the business potential of your entire beverage program.
Fat Ice: Leading the Industry Forward
We started in Texas and quickly expanded to Las Vegas, then into Chicago, Florida, Arizona, Massachusetts, and California. National distribution is next.
Today, Fat Ice is the largest craft ice operator in the U.S. by a significant margin—serving more customers and producing more premium cubes and spheres than anyone else in the industry.
Our growth is powered by more than production. Our Customer Success program equips operators with the tools, training, and support they need to deliver Fat Ice flawlessly, every time.
Because for us, it’s never just ice. It’s about being a small but essential part of the best mixology experiences in the country.
