From classic cocktails with a modern twist to entirely new creations, we ensure every drink reflects your event’s style.

Your guests can enjoy their drinks without worrying about single-use plastics.

4. Etched Ice Cubes with Custom Logos

Add a personalized touch to your event with etched ice cubes featuring your company’s logo, event emblem, or a custom design. Our expertly crafted ice cubes not only keep drinks chilled but also serve as a unique branding element that adds sophistication and memorability to each cocktail. This bespoke feature is perfect for corporate events, product launches, and upscale gatherings.

5. Dry Ice Effects for a Magical Atmosphere

Bring a little magic to your bar with dry ice effects. Perfect for themed parties and upscale events, our dry ice presentations create a mesmerizing fog that adds a sense of mystery and allure. From smoky cauldrons at Halloween parties to enchanting wisps of mist at sophisticated soirees, this feature transforms your bar into a visual spectacle.

6. Boba Tea Bubbles for a Playful Twist

If you’re looking to add a playful element to your event, consider incorporating boba tea bubbles into your cocktails. These chewy, flavorful bubbles add texture and surprise to each sip, making them a fun addition to modern cocktails. They’re perfect for themed events, casual gatherings, and clients looking to infuse their drinks with a bit of whimsy.
