Happy Fruzen Holidays

As we are all aware, the Holidays are here and are bigger than ever!

  People, including us, are being inspired left and right this season... 

 Below is our new cocktail created for the Holidays.   We were recently able to showcase this one at a Holiday party and all the guests seemed to love it.  This drink is simply perfect if you are having a gathering at your house, or just creating a cocktail for two. 

Under the Mistletoe Mojito

Muddle fresh mint and cranberries
combine clear rum, a splash of cranberry juice,

lime juice & a dash of cinnamon

into a shaker and pour over our mint & cranberry infused Ice

If you are entertaining a few too many guests and are looking for something a bit more simple but still beautiful you can never-ever go wrong with champagne flutes.  To add some holiday cheer, throw in a  Fruzen Ice cube or a few cranberries and a sprig of rosemary.  If you're feeling a little naughty for taking the easier way out, splurge a little and get yourself a custom made ice sculpture to hold your champagne bottles!

Above is world famous event planner, Colin Cowie, with our ice sculpture. He perched a bottle of Dom Perignon on top for his guests.

The Blueberry

Our Blueberry Fruzen Ice Sculpture

The Blueberry, a small, simple berry, that is famous around the United States.  We all love to eat them in a variety of forms.  Whether out of the box, frozen in drinks, or baked into our favorite dessert, blueberries are a well-rounded fruit (no pun intended).  We love incorporating the Blueberry into our ice.  We recently created a sculpture at the "Celebrate! Showcase Event" where we froze blueberries in the center.  We love their simplicity and color.  Since we are assuming that you love blueberries just as much as we do, here are some fun facts you might not know about the blueberry!

• The Blueberry is the 2nd most popular berry in America, second to the strawberry 
• They are one of the only natural foods that are blue in color
• Native Americans called then "star berries" because of the five points that made up their blossoms
• Early colonists made gray paint out of blueberries by boiling them in milk
• America's favorite muffin is...the blueberry muffin
• The anthocyanin present in them is great for your eyesight
• They are naturally low in both fat & sodium

Blueberries are so simple yet they can be transformed into so many great things!  What is your favorite way to eat a blueberry?  Blueberry jam perhaps? 



The Cranberry

The Cranberry is one of our favorite Früzen garnishes.  It is so simple, yet has such a stunning appearance.  Cranberries have a distinguished tart taste perfect for accompanying cocktails as well as for décor.  The bright red gloss on cranberries makes a simple decoration dramatic.  Here are some of our favorite ideas for the cranberry on your Thanksgiving table this season.

We can’t think of anything more perfect to pair with tarty cranberries than cheese!  This layered cranberry sauce dish, courtesy of Paula Deen, is simple and mouthwatering.  With this recipe you can dress up that cranberry-can-shaped-mold by layering it with cream cheese and nuts.  It is delicious and beautiful, with the deep red and whipped white colors creating a parfait like centerpiece.  Definitely a show stealer on your table.   Check out the recipe

We have always been a fan of simple, yet beautiful, which is why the cranberry is one of our favorite berries to use.  We stronly suggest using the cranberry as one of the star components to your decorations this Thanksgiving.  Candles can say a lot without doing much prep or damage to your wallet.  We love the look of a white candle paired with cranberries.  The beauty is that you could have one, or ten all over your house and it wouldn't be over kill.  To add even another extra touch to this centerpiece we suggest throwing in some rosemary or another favorite herb to add some extra pop to your decoration.

Last, but definitely not least is a Thanksgiving Cranberry Cocktail!  This Cranberry, Ginger Fizz cocktail is easy and delicious.  You simply take a shot of cranberry vodka, cranberry juice, top with ginger ale to add the "fizz", and add a garnish of your choosing.  May we suggest a Früzen Ice Cranberry to make it a "Früzen Cranberry Ginger Fizz".  The best part about this drink is that you can omit the liquor all together and the drink will still be delicious to all of your guests!  Cheers and enjoy your Thanksgiving.

The Pomegranate

Did you know that the pomegranate is one of the oldest known fruits found in ancient writings and artifacts?  It's no wonder that they are making a come back with their delicious taste, but they are actually being recognized for their great health benefits.  The pomegranate is a symbol of health, fertility, and eternal life, and it gained that reputation for the right reason.  They are extremely nutrient dense and antioxidant rich, offering protection against heart disease & cancer.  They are one of the few fruits where the seeds are edible and delicious.  The pomegranate gives off the perfect amount of sweetness and tartness.  With their deep purple-red, glossy glow that is appetizing to the eye and taste buds, they are a perfect compliment to any drink or decoration during the holidays.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Früzen is all about ice.  We have gone to great lengths to create products with detail from the ground up. What is the most essential component to Früzen Ice?  Water.  We have introduced a Fleck water filtration system to purify all of our ice products.  The Fleck system is designed to improve water quality using the water softener system to ensure the purity of the water.  While hard water is not considered unhealthy, Fleck systems improve the freshness of the water we use for your ice. The system removes moderate amounts of iron and removes the hardness that the ions, calcium and magnesium cause.  We aim to give our customers the opportunity to customize their ice all the way to the water source.  We can provide you with options of name brand waters such as, Fiji, Evian and Poland Spring.  We can guarantee you the confidence that your event has the perfect piece of ice!

Raspberries! Raspberries! Raspberries!

Did you know that bright red raspberries are among the most popular berries grown all over the world? They are sweet and delicious, as well as a rich source of health promoting nutrients, minerals, and vitamins essential for optimum health. These berries contain high levels of phenolic flavonoid phytochemicals. Recent scientific studies show that these antioxidant compounds found in raspberries have potential health benefits against cancer, aging, inflammation, and neuro-degenerative diseases. So, while you are garnishing your beautiful event in style, your guests will be enjoying their delightful  Früzen Ice drinks and simultaneously promoting their body's health! 

                           Raspberries are healthy, stylish, and delicious so why not indulge?

Tickled Hot Pink

We were so honored to participate in Tickled HOT Pink, a new event hosted by young professionals in NYC and dedicated to the fight against breast cancer.  Tickled HOT Pink is second generation to Tickled Pink, a mother-daugther event geared towards teenagers that has raised close to one million dollars over the last eight years.  Taking place at the posh Bowery Hotel in the East Village, guests came for some delicious Früzen drinks, dancing, a silent auction, and to celebrate another successful year in the fight against breast cancer.  All proceeds from the night were donated to the Dubin Breast Center in New York City.

                                                 We made sure that all the ice stayed in perfect shape with our special Früzen trays!

Last Friday, we had the pleasure of attending the Amy Winehouse Foundation event "Under The Stars," which benefited children in need through music therapy and education.  It was a beautiful night filled with great music, good food, and even better people.  We were honored to provide our healthy and delicious Früzen Ice to benefit one of the most unique voices of this generation.
