What is the Difference Between Nugget and Cube Ice?

Nugget ice (also called pellet or pebble ice) is smaller in size, and offers a soft and chewy texture. Nugget ice, or granular ice, is perfect for drinks due to it’s texture and ability to keep drinks cooler for longer.

Ice cubes are bigger and harder, providing a much faster cooler solution. Ice cubes melt faster than nugget ice so are perfect for cocktail making, various other drinks or items that need very quickly cooling down.
