Play hard* – served them well as they grew a new brand during the pandemic. Fred and Sean say that their brand is all about working hard and having fun in a casual and authentic way but is also committed to high-quality craftsmanship and great value to deliver top quality at a great price for all communities. Fred and Sean are committed to ensuring their product not only remains 100% US-grown, but also supports local businesses. Because of that, Ice Pik is produced within the states they distribute it to, which grows a true community of people supporting their local businesses. In addition, since their vodka is 60% water, the company spends a lot of time to ensure the local water sources they use are Ph-balanced with a clean, crisp finish and is eight-times distilled.
