Ice Planning Guide

You can plan the perfect menu, batch beautiful cocktails, and stock the bar with top-shelf spirits. But if you run out of ice two hours in, none of it matters. Ice is the silent infrastructure of every good party - and the thing most hosts underestimate.

The problem is that ice does double duty: it chills your drinks before serving, and it goes into the drinks themselves. Most people only think about one of those jobs. Factor in melt, spills, and the inevitable guest who uses a handful of cubes to fill their entire glass, and your carefully calculated supply disappears fast.

This tool gives you realistic ranges - not precision, but a buffer that accounts for real-world hosting. Because the goal isn't a spreadsheet. It's drinks that stay cold until the last guest leaves.
