Upgrade Your Ice: Class Recording
Camper English shares tips and tricks to build surprise and delight into your ice program, no matter your budget.
In June, Camper English joined Campari Academy to teach an online class all about ice.
Camper literally wrote the book on cocktail ice, so we were so excited to have him on to share some of his vast knowledge on the subject. If you missed the live class or want to re-watch for more ideas, we’ve posted the recording here.
Topics included:
- Hacks to make the most out of your existing space and equipment
- Decision-making tips for ice production: outsourcing vs. in-house
- How to maximize the visual impact of ice (and tips for volume)
- Patterns, logos, diamond cuts, colored and flavored ice
- Ice design, frozen flowers, and other garnish tips
Interested in ice? You should own a copy of Camper’s Ice Book.
