I only got very few place to store like ice and Frozen limes you got a tip how i could use up space more efficent?
Michel Weißenborn let me think of something 🤔
@@VladSlickBartender thank you you're great man
Hey can you post a link for your clear ice cube maker?!? Like where you got it from
Little tip just heat the nikth up in the oven or with fire
Imagine asking your bartender for ice and he pulls out a mallet, saw and picnic cooler
😅😭
That’s dope no cap I would be in awww like make the wait worth it
And then asks you to wait 36 hrs.
They do this as standard in good bars all over japan! I was very surprised
gjaeigjiajeg you bet your ass I’m waiting those 36 hrs I want my drink to be legendary
Day 105 of quarantine: I am watching a guy making ice at midnight
bro it’s 3:37 am for me
@@hhffbgfghhtffddfvg3856 Dude, as I read your comment I glance over and see it's 3:52 am for me
@@quit7892 Oh my God... Our summer vacation lasts from 5th June to 10th September 😂
It is 4:02 for me
The1Killerz wait, you guys have summer holidays?
As a pro tip, from someone who works/worked at bars that has a hand-cut clear ice program, be sure to buy a cooler with a drain at the base to empty the water from under your ice slab with no hassle. You just need to spike through some ice growth around the drain, prop it up by a sink, and when you flip it, no mess. :) God bless you, my crazy Russian cocktail comrade.
Got any Recommendations for a Cooler or Ice Cube Maker (similar to the 2nd piece shown)? Would love to support a good fellow company interested in helping regular folk make quality items.

5 yr old me method of making clear ice:
Step 1: Take normal ice from fridge
Step 2: pour water on it
Step 3: We have clear ice boi
Step 4: Then proceed to take a lighter and try to burn the ice before wondering why it is not burning
yuh😂👌🏻
If you were 5 and doing that then you're going places
@@arjun3190 yup
And then ur profile name AND picture really goes with this-
The funny thing is that actually works 😂😂😂
Dude. You're smashing out some awesome content at the moment. Really good. Its pushing me to do more. Nice work mate. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🙏🤟 What else to do 🤣
Thank you master,
Yes a lot more time to create and improve quality
who woulda thought it would be so hard! I will stick to dirty ice... but very cool vid
It’s not, literally put hot water in your ice tray it’ll be clear enough
Anonymous hot water isn’t good for your freezer tho
@@bigkaris912 That doesn't work. The impurities need somewhere to go
@Anonymous it's not impurities. The clear ice freezes in a uniform fashion in one direction. Cloudy ice is cloudy because there are tiny air pockets in the ice. Clear ice melts slower because it is more dense than the air filled cloudy ice.
Dirty ice
heisenberg standard
99.1% pure
I have recently started the cocktail journey and have large moulds but the clear ice is definitely better, I haven’t bought any clear ice maker but you can use insulated flask or coffee cup etc to make clear ice with the lid off, they are smaller than the ice box if space is a premium
That’s genius
Hey sunny Bhai can you help me with your method
Did you know, that if you hold power button (for more than 5 seconds) while turning on the ice machine, it will produce a bit sturdier ice? It will add couple minutes to the process. The cubes won't have such big holes inside. I bought that exact machine couple weeks ago, and I'm totally in love with it. Keep being awesome!
No way... 😅
Bercik Hello, what is the ice maker brand? I’m trying to order one.
Could you drop a link?

Amazing video. I only knew the version with the huge container. I'm glad that there are versions where you need less space in the freezer. Thanks for the info mate.
Clear ice cube trays are priceless. Don’t give up on them if it don’t come out clear right away 🤟
I love this! I have the ice machine and the ice maker mold, but the ice chest is brilliant! Bravo!
Thank you 😊
Great. Clear ice is very important but unfortually not often in your cocktail. Let us spread the craft world wide. Skål.
norwegian? or danish?
Cheers, right back at you! ❤️
Thank you for the excellent music , classic and a swing rhythm. Not the same commercial hip hop tracks
Im in love with your setup
Awesome content Vlad. You always inspired me. I’ll keep learning more flair bar tricks from your channel and also from your previous competition. So started creating my own UA-cam channel on how to make cocktail drinks with basic flair moves..
Leopoldo Bancale Great job! Really happy to hear that 🤟🔥🙏
seen a bunch of videos on making clear ice, i really like this one. Especially the "lazy" way, number 2 :P But last option is a must! especially for thost frickin high ball glasses. Ill invest in this for only my good friends who are worth the beautiful ice in the glass!
A warm or hot plate can be used to melt the sides to the smooth and flat edges you need, and it will leave the ice looking perfect.
Ain’t nobody got time for that...😅
Love the channel ❤️
? It’s freezing water. U don’t do any of the work, the freezer does
Aleks god help u.
@@peachyjam9440 Pro tip: Do something else while you wait.
Also, it takes about 10-15 minutes to cut the ice. if you don't have 10-15 minutes, then I have to agree; God help you.
So basically the key is hot water in. I'll try it.
No, the key is directional freezing. You want to force the air down away from the center. Most home ice cube trays freeze from the outside in, you can do the same thing by getting a large ice cube kit and pulling it out every hour for 5 minutes until it freezes. Won't be as clear, but won't be cloudy either.
@@Crazt so if the water is moving inside then it's ok?
@@Bob-hh8rp what?
Also the boiling of water is to reduce the amount of diffused gasses in the liquid before freezing that contribute to the cloudiness.
@@azncoocoo not by much. More importantly, though, you notice how all the methods leave water unfrozen? That's because with dirrectional freezing, the disolved air is pushed away from the freezing ice at the top and gets concentrated at the bottom while the ice at the top crystalizes without those impurities.
If you let it freeze all the way, the bottom would get cloudy just like the center of a normal ice cube. Boiling and distilation make little to no difference.
Feel free to save the time and shave down your energy bill a bit by skipping that inconsequential step.
I needed this video, nice
it was very helpful, thank you very much.
Fabulous! Ice is critical in cocktails!
Tries the third method multiple times over the holidays and was really successful. It works great! I didn’t use hot water and the ice is still beautiful and clear.
Yeah I learned the third method from tipsy bartender
do you need to close the cooler cap or leave it open?
@@emmanuel3981 leave it open, the reason you use a cooler is so the ice only freezes from the top (the cooler insulates the water and prevents it from freezing from the sides)
I love to make clear ice to my cocktails in home... people always ask me how I got my ice.
Once you start making it there no way back to ice from refrigerator 😹
@@VladSlickBartender yup
R u also using the ice maker as shown in the vid
I hadn't drank in a while(no particular reason) and clear ice has me start drinking again but in a more refined way. Jack and coke and jagerbombs didn't promote higher quality drinks. After making a bunch of clear ice I just wanted a reason to use it. I can't go back to regular ice now and I'm drinking things like Old Fashions, Negroni, White Russians and Mojitos. Drinks I've never had before and enjoy a lot better for longer with each individual cocktails. Thank you guys for passing your knowledge.
I would love to have this True cubes clear ice cube tray, it would be amazing!
Awesome video! So glad people asked and you delivered because I was wondering this myself! Great as always Vlad. 👌
🙏 doing it for you guys 🔥🤟❤️
Watching this at 3 in the morning
No sleep squad 😅
3:21
3:23
underrated madlands
This was really amusing
Bro!! So sick 🔥🔥 looks like glass!
Long story short: Just freeze the water from one direction and you'll get clear ice.
What d u mean one direction?
@@willyrajagukguk6665 on the two last method you can see that the water on the bottom and the sides are not frozen it's because it's isolated so it takes longer to cool down and freeze from the side, it freezes directly through the top (the non isolated part) to the sides and the bottom
This was initially the most confusing and then ultimately the most clear(lol) explanation after I read the comments
Have you ever noticed a mud puddle that has a layer of clear ice on the top? That is from the freezing from the top down and keeping the impurities out.
By freezing your ice in an ice chest and removing it before it’s fully frozen you are doing the same thing.
@@billrockmaker based
First comment from morroco tnx for everything boss 🤟🤟🤟
Huge thanks to my notification squad
Just yesterday I searched for a video like this and now your release it. Wow!
I thought about you 😅
Muito bom! Parabéns ❤
Awesome
To the people who don't want to put hot water into their freezer cause it's not good for it - or the food you have stored in there.
afaik it goes something like this: The white in the ice is always air that's trapped. It can be because the ice froze to quickly and the air had nowhere to go because the top is already frozen or because there a very small solids in the water that air bubbles cling to (like air bubbles form on things that are in water; the rougher the surface in the water the more air bubbles). There are different variables that controbute to making it go away.
For one, there is the surplus water (e.g. with the insulated ice box); the air can't escape to the top but it freezes so slowly that it gets pushed out into the surplus water at the bottom. If you were to compeltely freeze the water in the insulated box you'd have cloudy ice on the bottom. Using warm/hot water further slows the freezing time. - But in hot water air also expands and rises to the surface and escapes before the freezing process even starts (the hotter the water the less air it can hold). - There is very little air in the soon-to-be-frozen water that can be trapped in the first place, giving you clearer ice. It takes a while for the air to "return" to to previously boiled water; so letting it cool down (best in the tray already; the less you disturb it the less air gets introduced) before putting it in the freezer will still give you clearer ice cubes than not boiling your water beforehand. Of course, best results are probably achieved when combining the hot water with the slow freezing and the surplus water (which is his ice-box example). if you have PLENTY time and space I suppose you could try the following; put hot water into an insulated box, let it cool down a little (aka until it has completely settled). Put Clingfilm on the water - airtight. Let it cool down to temp you're comfortable putting into your freezer. Wait - but try to not let it freeze more than halfway through. - When taking it out you need to melt a little of the surface to be able to remove the clingfilm without having bits and pieces stuck in your ice. Not letting the air back in should give you rsults comparable to putting hot water into your freezer. - Never tried that though; freezer is too small.
Hi there and thanks for the infos…. I have exactly this problem: the ice gets cloudy very fast after the freezing starts so I am not able to make a big chunk of really clear water… and on top of the ice a little mountain raises while freezing the ice and it’s about half an inch in highs or so… I used to fill in normal tab water very slowly so that the amount of air inside the water is reduced… it’s a pity that it ain’t came out more clear…
@@NeoViny try not to use tap water. It has lots of impurities. That's my guess.
@@NeoViny you need good isolation on the bottom and the sides so the water can freeze slowly from top to bottom. If you have good tap water you can use that with no problem as when the water freezes slowly the impurities and air will be pressed to bottom so you actually don’t need boiling water.
@@janfalker9846 hey please help me with your idea what do you mean by isolation u mentioned
Thank you. I was looking for machine to make ice transparent, since I can make snowy ice myself using egg holder.lol. Спасибо, Влад! 👍
Grazie Vlad. Great video
Me:Could I get a cocktail please.
Bartender: yes no problem when the ice is ready
...
3 days later
Luke Caddy would like but it’s at 69
POV: You didn't search for this, it was randomly recommended.
And I watched it not even for the beverages just for the ice
I looked it up. I'm bartending
I did
I searched for this. I was just curious how
False
I KNEW IT!! No I dident know it. But ever since I managed to make pure ice. I have had the feeling it held longer. I love ice and ice cold to drink. I also learnt that using a real hammer to tap on the knife is a little too much, and the ice may shatter. But! When I used a much lighter wooden mallot, the ice separated in a very nice straight line.
Definetly will get me the ice maker from the beginning, clear ice is awesome
That’s incredible, but I would give up😂😂😂
its kindof addictive :P
It’s not impurities, just air trapped in the ice.
So much inspiration. Thank you dude
🙏🤟🔥
Just love your vids super relaxing show
What’s the best way to store the ice afterwards? It’s usually it sticks together.
2:20 made my teeth hurt 😬😶
I know the feeling it is worse then dipping your finger in boiling water
I don't get it. What made your teeth hurt?
Awesome!
Great video and instructions 👍
Easiest way: Put some cold broken glass into their drink and just lie
*o h n o*
uh. . .
satan: *even im not into that shit*
So, I was already the most amazing person in the world? Nice
Yes and you know it
This is the fifth time I’m watching this and it’s still as satisfying
Awesome, thanks man. 💧✨🌨️
It’s going to have to rewire my brain for the new comment section
Same. I hated it first 😀😅
- Hey do you have ice?
- Yea! Just wait 27 hours
Thank you Brother
Perdon que sea en español pero voy a sorprender este fin de semana con hielo profesional! Gracias!!!
Awesome techiniques. Do you think the last one needs a cooler to get properly clean or can i could make do with a ice cream pot or something smaller (and that actually fits on my freezer xD)
Get the smaller 1 gallon size cooler. 24hrs is what it takes.
Exactly
The reason why you need a cooler because it keeps the same temperature inside
And ice starting to freeze from top to bottom leaving all impurities down there and ice on top is clear 🧊
@@VladSlickBartender ohh makes sense. Thanks m8 o/
@@VladSlickBartender so should I put the lid back on when I put it in the freezer?
el7anooty no no. Put it in the freezer without it
Not even 21 yet, watched the whole video, no regrets.
🙏🙏🙏
I mean you don't need to be 21 to make clear ice right ?
I love this beacause it so chill
I will probably never do this, but this was still so entertaining and satisfying to watch
Give it a try m8… it is so damn satisfying when you make this cubes at home…
woo😁😘😘
damn no offense but I'm feeling that I'm wasting my time watching this videos, not because it's a bad video, actually it's a great video but why would I want to do perfect ice cubes at 1am in the morning?
Sometimes you wonder what the meaning of life is, only to later on enjoy satisfying shit
Same
This video is not for you is it that hard to understand?
69th like
video was for people who wanted clear ice for a nicer looking cocktail, and no one was asking you to watch it at 1 in the morning
So intesting !! ...thanks Vlad

it was very enjoyable thx, i wonder can u make an ice cube carving videos as well? well shaped ice cubes are very nice to watch
Thank you for taking a clear ice suggestions on previous video to a top notch video! Perfect 👌
Thanks for recommendations 🙏🔥
Vlad SlickBartender Anytime buddy 👊🏻
I tried the cooler method three times but it never turned out as clear as yours. Next time I‘m gonna try it with hot water.
Thanks for the great video!
Thanks!! Same here. I was trying it so many times with regular water as a lot of people recommended and ice was never that clear. Also temperature makes a big difference. Should be freezing slow 🧊
it is simple physics and chemistry.. you need to use hot water to get clear ice cubes.
this is exactly the reason why I hate these kind of youtube videos. some uneducated idiot (mostly a dropout) shows something very simple but can't explain the WHY... don't skip school buddy or if you already did, go watch some videos or read books about water explained by scientists. it will get you further in life than watching this crap
Mätz 😘

1 0z- Sweet n sour (i used home made)
Serve in a chiiled coupe glass
Garnish with salt rim and lemon wheel on the rim.
Hope you like it 😄
its not "impurities" that make the cloudiness in the ice, its air getting trapped in the ice as it freezes. nothing to do with "impurities" and no need to boil / filter / distill / reverse osmosis the water, just directional freezing. Other than that great video + tutorial.
Awesome one dude!
This was one amazing video!
May I just ask how you got ice to form at 53F when that's near double the temp required??? 1:39
Omg ahahahah that's not how temperature works my dude
I too am confused at how 53F = -12C
“I freeze at 57° F” lol
How does he do it?
-12C is about 10F
Thank bro!!!
Great video, I'm just a kid but I've bartended partys and I did the last one even before watching this video and it worked perfectly, it made for beautiful winter old fashions!
why is this on my recommendation
I would rather go to the bar 😂 thats what I pay for.
This is just amazing!!!!!
Wow! Your professionalism is at peak.
Thank you means a lot
But wait, I saw a bubble..... never mind, I have a dirty monitor... Thanks...
