Meet The Ice Book by Camper English, also known as @alcademics, a cocktail connoisseur whose passion for perfecting clear ice cubes and spheres has sparked a revolution. Through years of dedicated experimentation and a meticulous “directional freezing” technique he’s banished cloudy ice, unveiling crystal-clear frozen masterpieces. With degrees in physics and computer science, Camper’s affinity for the intricate aspects of mixology is evident. His expertise extends beyond ice as evidenced by his exploration of subjects like sugarcane production and carbonation history. Yet, it’s his dedication to crafting clear ice that resonates most profoundly. His journey and ice-expertise (or should we say icepertise?) is chronicled on his blog Alcademics and internationally acknowledged by @tales_of_the_cocktail, where his previous work “Doctors and Distillers” stood as a Top 4 finalist in the Spirited Awards of 2023. Released in May, Camper’s latest achievement “The Ice Book: Cool Cubes, Clear Spheres, and Other Chill Cocktail Crafts” is a compilation of his years of research and experimentation empowers bar enthusiasts to achieve the pinnacle of ice perfection. Camper’s influence sparked a vibrant community of “ice nerds” fostering inspiration and collaboration across platforms and led him to become an acclaimed visionary: along with other recognitions, he secured a spot among the Top 100 Influential People in Drinks International’s esteemed rankings many years in a row. #ice3reads #madeofcoolness
