How it started

Cold Standard Ice Co. was founded by Christopher Grande, a retired Navy helicopter pilot with a sharp eye for detail and a love for a well-made drink. As a home bartender, Chris became obsessed with the quality of every ingredient—especially the ice.

What began as a personal passion became a mission: to craft ice that doesn’t just chill, but elevates.

Local roots. Premium quality. Crystal clear. That’s our cold standard.

Let us set a new standard for your drinks.
