DON’T LET YOUR PROFITS MELT! Perlick Ice Vault

The Perlick Ice Vault designed by Tobin Ellis provides storage and preparation solutions for large format and craft cocktail ice. As bar owners continue to invest in large format ice, attaining the proper solutions to maintain the quality and prevent profit losses due to inadequate storage and handling are vital. The industry’s first large format ice management system, the Perlick Ice Vault is the only one on the market NSF certified for the storage and preparation of craft ice. Designed to store up to 48 large format ice cubes for craft cocktails, units come with dividers to separate ice types and can even be converted into storage for up to six (1L) liquor bottles. A tempering pan allows the bartender to pull an ice cube out of the vault to properly temper during drink production. The ice vault can be used as a stand-alone or incorporated into the modular bar system, providing bartenders with craft ice within arms reach while creating cocktails—eliminating any potential waste due to over-melting of ice cubes. perlick.com/commercial INTRODUCING “DRAM IN A CAN” Two Stacks Irish Whiskey
