Diamond ice typically refers to a high-quality, clear type of ice often used in premium beverages and cocktails. It's noteworthy for its crystal-clear appearance, resembling the clarity and brilliance of a genuine diamond. This is achieved by freezing water in a way that prevents air bubbles and impurities from getting trapped, resulting in ice that's not only aesthetically pleasing but also melts slower, thus not diluting drinks as quickly.
