As every professional bartender will tell you, a great cocktail is an all-round experience, not just about the taste. And ice has become an essential part of that experience.

In Florida, with our demographically-driven need for great healthcare options, knowing and understanding these trends can be the difference between a successful operation and one struggling to make the grade, almost quite literally.

Last month, we experienced some of the latest F&B innovations at The NAFEM Show 2019. Of all those innovations, the Perlick booth had some of our favorites. From large format cocktail ice to no-sweat beer towers that you can completely customize, take a brief, interactive tour.

If you were in the Middleby Campus on the floor of The NAFEM Show 2019, you probably saw more pieces of foodservice equipment than you can remember. We know how you feel. It can be a bit daunting keeping up with all the latest innovations because there were just so many of them coming from the Middleby brands.

The Middleby campus will be alive and buzzing during The NAFEM Show 2019. Featuring new and innovative products from beverage to cooking, come meet all the solutions that can help make your Florida foodservice operation more efficient in 2019.
