Why Nugget Ice?
Serve Cubelet Ice to Outshine Your Competition
People love cubelet ice, also known as nugget ice or "Sonic ice." The soft pellets are easy to chew after you finish your drink, and the ice soaks up the flavors of any beverage you put it in. From quick service restaurants to hospitals to schools, nugget ice is a good ice type to include.

A Healthy Choice for Schools and Hospitals
Cubelet ice comes in different sizes depending on the ice machine model ranging from 3/8” to ½" in width and length. It’s a small, soft cube that is easy to chew, making it an excellent choice for patients who need to hydrate but have a hard time swallowing liquid. Its texture also lends itself well in school settings where kids can enjoy chewing on ice without hurting their teeth. They'll absolutely love having nugget ice!
Cubelet Ice is Perfect for Drinks and Displays
Many bar and restaurant customers love this ice style for its porous nature. Cubelet ice absorbs liquids better than cubed ice and retains the flavor of drinks. It's ideal for a wide range of flavorful beverages like margaritas, slushes, lemonades, and sodas.
Nugget ice is also malleable enough to mold and hold its shape, which is why restaurants use it for elaborate seafood and salad bar presentations.
