Ice accessories for your bar include ice tongs, buckets and scoops to make icing your drink easier and, let's face it, add more props to your show. Ice tongs not only keep your fingers warm and your ice clean, they send a subtle message to your patrons that you are a professional who would never dare think of sullying their ice with the human contact.

A well-placed ice bucket or two makes it easier to conserve energy than having to go back into the fridge or ice-maker every time someone needs a refill. Ice tongs can be purchased alone or with a set that includes the bucket, and they are usually available in plastic or stainless steel materials and in a variety of lengths.

Ice Tongs Call For Ice Buckets

Ice buckets are great for those times when your party needs to move away from the bar. If you're taking drinks by the pool, having an ice bucket nearby allows you to enjoy that margarita on the rocks without carrying an entire cooler on the road. Some ice bucket sets also come with a sealed top or with other goodies inside, such as shot glasses.

Ice tongs are as cheap as a couple of dollars or more depending on whether you purchase a set that includes the bucket. It doesn't hurt to have the complete set. Looking like a professional has its rewards!
