How To Make The Best Cocktails

Every cocktail connoisseur knows that great ingredients make all the difference, but it’s not just in your spirits or mixers. The ice in your cocktail can completely change the experience, from the drink’s appearance to the way it tastes. The secret to a truly memorable cocktail often lies in using clear, clean ice made from premium filtered water, and for those who want to create cocktails with precision and flair, Billi Australia offers an ideal solution.

As an innovator in high-performance water filtration systems for over 30 years, Billi Australia has perfected the art of instant, high-quality filtered water. Our systems are designed and manufactured in Melbourne, meaning we don’t just bring convenience and style; they’re equipped with advanced filtration technology that produces water ideal for crystal-clear ice. Learn more below about how to use Billi’s premium water systems to elevate your cocktails.

Why Clear Ice Is Essential For Exceptional Cocktails

First impressions count, and cloudy ice cubes are not a good look. The quality of your ice impacts far more than just the aesthetics of a cocktail; it affects the drink’s flavour and how long it stays chilled. Clear ice, made from filtered water, is denser and melts slower, keeping cocktails chilled for longer without quickly diluting them.

Using ice made from Billi’s filtered water means you’re starting with a pure base, free from impurities that can cloud ice and impact flavour. Billi’s filters are powered by Fibron X® technology that removes contaminants like chlorine, heavy metals, and odours, ensuring that the ice stays clear and fresh. Whether you’re crafting a martini or a mojito, using filtered ice preserves the drink’s intended flavours, elevating the experience with each sip.

Proven Techniques for Clear Cocktail Ice

Achieving clear ice isn’t about freezing techniques — starting with quality water is. Here’s how you can create beautifully clear ice with the help of Billi’s systems.

• Begin with Filtered Water: Water quality is the foundation of clear ice. Tap water often contains minerals, chlorine, and impurities that can cloud ice and alter its flavour. Billi’s filters significantly reduce these impurities, producing water that’s pure, tasteless, and ideal for ice-making. By starting with Billi filtered water, you’re taking the first step in achieving perfect ice for cocktails.
• Use Chilled Water for Faster Results: Freezing cold water helps prevent the air bubbles that lead to cloudy ice. Billi’s systems, featuring Ice Bank technology, offer instant access to chilled water, which streamlines the process. With chilled water on tap, it’s easy to create clear ice without the wait, making Billi ideal for both home bartenders and busy public bars.

• Instant Access to Chilled and Boiling Water: Billi systems provide instant access to both chilled and boiling water, allowing for quick, efficient ice-making. The Ice Bank technology in Billi’s chilled water units maintains a consistently cold temperature, ideal for creating dense, clear ice that melts slowly in cocktails.
