Nothing sounds more refreshing on a hot Florida day than an ice cold beer. But in reality, the perfect beer temperature isn't supposed to be ice cold, and neither is the serving glass it's in.

Ice is more than just frozen water. It's a necessity for Florida's bustling food and beverage scene. From crafting the perfect cocktail to displaying fresh seafood, ice is an unsung hero of commercial kitchens, especially in Florida's warm climate. 

The holiday beverage market is one of the most important profit-makers for Florida foodservice operators, and coffee is a huge part of that segment. Seasonal favorites like peppermint mochas and gingerbread lattes bring warmth to the winter months and drive revenue through premium, high-margin offerings. This makes coffee equipment an essential part of the profit equation during the holidays.

Speed of delivery and the accuracy of orders can mean the difference between a customer ordering additional drinks or leaving after the first one. That's why having innovative equipment that helps bartenders is the key to increasing beverage profits. One such innovation that is gaining momentum is wine dispensing systems. Perlick, a pioneer in commercial bar solutions, is on the cutting edge with its wine dispensing technology. Let's uncork the possibilities and explore how Perlick is revolutionizing wine service.

Ice is not a one-size-fits-all model. As things heat up in Florida, foodservice businesses will be serving more and more iced beverages, especially if there's the option for outdoor dining. However, frozen beverages, iced coffee and tea, soft drinks, and cocktails require different ice for different reasons.
