Ice tongs are a compact accessory for many bartenders, with which he transfers ice cubes to a shaker, glass or other container.
Today, there are two types of tongs: classic and cocktail. Cocktail tongs have a more aesthetic appearance than classic tongs, they have an oblong shape and lie naturally in the hand. We can say that their greatest advantage is precisely their aesthetic appearance, since the preparation of a cocktail is not an ordinary process, but a whole art.
Classic tongs are used to serve ice in the glasses of guests at the table (at banquets, weddings, etc.). They are not as long and wider than cocktail ones, but they are convenient to use and do not require much space.
