Repost from @bookish.heidi • Ya know... I gotta say that I didn't think I'd be all that impressed with this book... but it really is fun! My husband and I had fun reading through the techniques and recipes and deciding what we wanted to try. Then I shared it with my son in law (he's a bartender), and he enjoyed it so much that I gifted it to him. Full of great information, photos, and fun recipes! This baby releases tomorrow, and you're going to want to check it out! Huge thank you to @alcademics & @suzyapprovedbooktours for gifting me a copy and including me on the tour 🧊 👉 I can't say I've ever put too much thought into ice… I know I like the little nugget ice like you can get at Sonic. We call it "the good ice" 😂 But other than that, very few thoughts about ice. Do you have a favorite ice? Do you snack on it? Dump it when the drink is gone? #TheIceBook #CamperEnglish #Alcademics #SuzyApprovedBookTours #booktour #giftedbook #bookmail #newrelease #gogetit #bookstagram #booksofinsta #igreads #bibliophile #booknerd #iceicebaby #ice #recipes #informative #bookish
Repost from @rozierreadsandwine • THE ICE BOOK Cool Cubes, Clear Spheres, and Other Chill Cocktail Crafts By Camper English @alcademics Photography by Allison Webber For @suzyapprovedbooktours This book has become one of my favorites and a perfect addition to my bar cart. Why you ask did I fall in love with this book? Well, I’ll tell you! I like ice a lot. I have even just purchased a table top ice maker for myself. I also enjoy a good cocktail. In this book, which is deceivingly scientific, Camper explains how to make clear ice by “directional freezing”. My ice is normally cloudy and now I know why and thanks to this book I have learned how to create clear ice. The book also teaches how to carve ice and how to freeze objects into ice. My personal goal is to try to successfully freeze a bottle inside an ice block. There are also some yummy cocktail recipes and beautiful photos that are part of this book.

Repost from @bryantparkbooks • As the summer cocktail season is upon us, now is the perfect time for 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗰𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸! 🧊 In this book, we learn how to make perfectly clear ice! It’s not too hard, but there’s a lot more steps than just pouring water into a mold and freezing it. The book shows exactly how to do it and also includes several recipes for classic cocktails. I enjoyed learning to make different styles of ice and even flavored ice. I often mix fruit with my water, but I never thought to put it in the ice! I’ll definitely be making this over the summer. Thank you to @suzyapprovedbooktours and @alcademics for my gifted book.

I was tickled pink to review this book! YES, it’s a cookbook about ice! 🧊🧊🧊 Crystal clear spheres, cubes you can read through, embossed, branded, and blinged-out chunks, chips, blocks, and 'bergs: it's time to elevate your ice! In The Ice Book, internationally renowned cocktail icepert Camper English details how to use directional freezing to make perfectly pure ice in a home freezer, carve it up into giant diamonds and other shapes, and embed it with garnishes, including edible orchids and olives. You'll learn how to create a frozen bowl for Negroni punch, serve a Manhattan inside an ice sphere, and infuse cubes with colors and flavors to create cranberry cobblers, a color-changing Gin and Tonic, and other awesome drinks. Featuring striking color photos throughout, this handy guide—and great gift—offers easy directions for dozens of ice projects and suggestions for further freezer fun. Both instructional and inspirational, The Ice Book will help you take your nonalcoholic and boozy beverages to the next level. Thank you NetGalley, Darcie Rowan PR, Red lightning Books for this ARC of THE ICE BOOK, Cool Cubes, Clear Spheres and Other Cocktails Crafts by Camper English.

Not many are aware but the fact is that me and Camper English (yes, that's his real name), a.k.a @alcademics share the same passion for water, or more specifically, ice. Craft ice. I started looking into it after reading his extensive materials on his blog. I remember doing the first experiments in my living room, where I had installed a chest freezer, sending him pictures with the results, waiting for his feedback, and then making the required adjustments. That was a long time ago, I do not know if he remembers, but fast-forward (quite) a few years, I have my own ice company, @ice.division where we do all sorts of things with ice. Furthermore, I have also been doing training for bartenders around the country on the subject for the last 4 years. In this picture taken by @aurapetrascu, I was talking about the density of water and how water molecules react at different temperatures. Yes, I know, geeky stuff, but that's just Camper, and that's why I recommend you read (all) his materials. (We also have an interview together). Anyway, to make it short: Thank you, Camper, for your work and dedication. You never know how you can change people's lives with just one "simple" blog post. 🤸 Cheers!

Ice 🧊 is water frozen into a solid state. Depending on the presence of impurities such as bubbles of air, it can appear transparent or a more or less opaque bluish-white color. Of course, ice is important for chilling drinks, but it’s far from the only role it plays in making cocktails. Most drinks are either shaken or stirred with ice or served on ice, both of which slightly dilute the drink with water. The trick is that you want some dilution, but not too much, and that amount varies from drink to drink. The size, shape and clarity of the ice also factor into how your drinks will turn out. This is why Cocktail Bars and Bars who focus on serious beverage service make their own ice. It has been great for Indian Bar Programs to be able to afford good quality ice making machines like Hoshizaki and Scotsman, and hence make their bar programs better. Also a lot of bars do have a dedicated Reverse Osmosis Water system in place for ice making to ensure the utmost quality of ice and religious handling of these machines. And of course the flawless handcut ice you will find in not many bars. But that is the best, clear ice frozen in house into rock solid beds and then cut with saws and blades. Next time you are at a bar, feel free to ask the bartender more about their ice and ice program. Remember, every cocktail and drink contains ice, so it better be right! 👍 #ice #alcademics #icecube #bar #bartender #cocktail #cocktails #bartenderlife #gin #vodka #rum #tequila #drinks #whisky #singlemalt #bars #bartendersofinstagram #instagram #picoftheday #bhfyp

Happy Ice-versary to me! 11 years ago today I figured out how to make clear ice by using an open cooler. Now people all over the world use this technique whether or not they know it came from me. You’re welcome, world! . #clearice #directionalfreezing #alcademics
Hey, History/Drinking/Drinking History Nerds! Did you know the Dark and Stormy was invented by the maker of Gosling's Rum? The Dark and Stormy was invented in Bermuda, which is also known as the “shipwreck capital of the world”. It gets that name from the more than 200 square miles of coral reef around the island that have caused hundreds of wrecks in the island’s storied history. The purported history is that the drink was named by a sailor who compared its murkiness to the appearance of storm clouds over the North Atlantic, but the confirmed story is that the mixture was invented by the rum manufacturer Gosling’s. The Gosling family arrived in Bermuda in 1806 when an English ship under the command of James Gosling docked on the island. After becoming one of the more prominent families on the island, the Goslings entered the rum trade in 1857 producing Gosling’s Black Seal Rum. Ginger beer was another favorite drink of the English that was also produced on the island, and it wasn’t long before Goslings began pairing their dark spiced rum with ginger beer. The Dark and Stormy is now Bermuda’s unofficial cocktail, and the most ordered drink on the island to this day. Thirsty for more Drinking History? Join us on Wednesday, October 28th at 7pm for the Virtual Drinking History event "Boos and Booze: Things that go bump in the night"! Tickets can be purchased at www.hartcluett.org The Dark and Stormy -2 oz dark spiced rum -4-5 oz ginger beer Pour the rum into a highball glass filled with cubed ice and top with ginger beer. Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel, and add a squeeze of lime if desired. #hcmdrinkinghistory #hartcluett #hartcluettmuseum #drinkinghistory #historynerds #alcademics #enjoytroy #downtowntroy #downtowntroyny #goslingsrum #darkandstormy
ICYMI- 🥃 "That low ABV trend definitely isn’t hitting Tasmania.” 🥃 Before he was Bar Manager at Evolve Spirits Bar on Hobarts marina, Dan Gregory was Australia's 2017 Bartender of the Year, a Drinks World T25 Bartender Awards winner, and Angostura Bitters Brand Ambassador. He's also slung cocktails at some of Australia's best known bars including Eau de Vie, The Gresham, Black Pearl, Baxter Inn and The Shady Pines. This week, Nicole and Marcus caught up with Dan to chat the Tasmanian palate, the House of Angostura, and why the next chapter of his life would be called 'Back to the Future' 🚀 Tune in on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever else you get your podcasts!
🤫 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬 “I think when I was growing up, even my Grandma had a bottle of Angostura in her cupboard." The yellow-capped Angostura bitter is a staple behind just about every bar in the world, so when Nicole and Marcus came face to face with Dan Gregory, the brand's former ambassador, they had to ask- 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢 𝘴𝘰 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭? “There are only three recipes in the world that actually are guarded secretly... there’s over 50 different botanicals, herbs, spices, citrus zests, all that jazz that go into it. A lot of companies and brands over the years have [tried] to compete against it and it’s virtually impossible.” "I could vouch for that product 100% over and over again. Angostura bitters go in about 90% of my drinks" How do you use Angostura bitters?
💀 𝐌𝐈𝐗𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐀𝐅𝐄𝐑 𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 💀 This week on Living Proof, Marcus and Nicole caught up with Camper English to learn more about CocktailSafe.org and the health risks that come with mixing certain cocktail elements. Indexing eveything from activated charcoal to quinine to gunpowder, CocktailSafe.org warns bartenders about potentially dangerous ingredients, utensils and trends that have found their ways onto cocktail menus around the world. 👉 Swipe to see four ingredients Camper walked us through on the pod.

Every week is #ClearIceWeek in my book, but Miguel from @holycityhandcraft has made it an official Instagram holiday! 🧊 . To celebrate, I called my buddy Camper English of @alcademics to talk a bit about how he discovered (!!!) directional freezing ten years ago - the same method that is used in all the at home clear freezer kits and the DIY igloo cooler method. Camper is one of the smartest guys I know, and all of you Ice nerds should study up on his website that has loads of ice experiments to geek out on. Link in my bio 🤓. ◇ G: How did you discover directional freezing? What was the ah-ha moment? CE: I did 9 months of testing boiled water and other rumored methods, but nothing worked. The eureka moment was finally noticing that the outsides of ice containers froze clear, and thinking about how ponds freeze - I finally put the two together then just had to find a container to control the direction of freezing. Editorial note: 🤯. ◇ G: Once you figured out how to make clear ice in an igloo cooler, you then figured out how to make clear spheres using the same method - how did you come to the sphere method? CE: The spheres are due to a combination of my method and other ice nerds reading Alcademics figuring out the perfect containers to use. ◇ G: There are many directional freezing systems on the market today - do you have a favorite? CE: For the money I like Clearly Frozen for cubes, and for spheres the newish IceOlogy one I like so far. ◇ G: 4/ What is your favorite thing to freeze in clear ice? CE: Mint looks so good, particularly in ice balls 🌱! ◇ G: 5/ Desert Island cocktail? CE: Today I'll pick an Old Fashioned with bourbon, over a large flawless crystal clear ice cube of course 🧊! ◇ #clearice #alcademics #iceicebaby #creditwherecreditisdue #directionalfreezing
Today on Alcademics.com (link in bio) I looked into distillation on the lees in cognac- the difference it makes in terms of flavor, for which types of cognac it’s appropriate, which brands do it, the challenges of it, and distilling cognac in general. This is part two of a series sponsored by Hine cognac. #cognac #distilling #lees #alcademics
Grab out the pen and paper -or, if you are born more recently, open your laptop- and start jolting down all the questions you have on cocktail safety, water in whisky, citrus and much much more. Because tomorrow we have the awesome Camper English over! At 3 PM he will do a seminar on Water & Whisky. It is FREE FOR ALL, so come over and grab yourself a seat. Then, at 8 PM he will host a special evening with the help of Buffalo Trace Bourbon with tasty bourbon drinks and banter. So whether you want a tasty drink, or get your cocktail geekiness on we hope to see you then! 📸 By Emma Janzen . . . . . #cocktails #cocktails🍹 #drinkup #proost #cheers #alcademics #cocktailsafety #imbibe @alcademics #ice #water @buffalotracedistillery #demonnikdranken #whisky #bourbon
PATIENCE (@homebarawards October entry on the Grasshopper theme) Inspired in name by the Grasshopper and Kung Fu movies, and in style (sort of) by the humble Rusty Nail. This drink is served fully enclosed in an ice sphere, without any openings and with no tool to break the ice. The final ingredient is time. The drink will not reach proper dilution until it melts through the sphere. 2 oz mate and grapefruit mint infused Añejo Tequila 1 oz DIY blue curacao (blue food color + good Dry Curacao) 1 barspoon grapefruit simple syrup 1 barspoon maraschino liqueur 2 barspoons lime simple syrup Pour all ingredients into a shaker tin and put it in the freezer to chill. The temperature must come down to near 0°C/32°F. Take out your prepared hollow ice sphere and let it come up in temperature to where it is no longer frosty on the outside. Using a funnel, pour the drink into the sphere, place a small piece of ice over the opening (melt it using your hands to shape it to fit). Freeze the sphere again and if needed drip some cold water and refreeze to seal the opening properly. To serve: Place the ice-sphere in a room temperature glass. Instruct your guest to wait until the drink is ready.

Parsley in an ice block. This time I let the block freeze all the way so the back (bottom of the cooler) is cloudy. I thought it would make a nice background but I’m not so sure. We’ll see how it looks when it thaws a bit. As always, check out Alcademics.com to learn how to do all sorts of ice tricks.
We at Flying Dutchmen Cocktails oare super excited to announce that on the 25th of November we will have none other than Camper English over! With the support of Buffalo Trace bourbon he will give a masterclass on 'Whisky and Water' plus a hosting shift with tasty bourbon drinks. Mark those calendars and we hope to see you then! . . . . . #cocktails🍹 #alcademics @alcademics #drinkup @buffalotrace #knowledge #safedrinks #proost #cheers
