Nothing says “summer” like an outdoor gathering, and nothing says “outdoor gathering” like a cool, refreshing cocktail or mocktail. But, as the weather heats up and friends and family head over, did you know that your refrigerator can help keep your cool while entertaining this summer?
Whether you’re hosting a dinner party, a last day of school party for your kids, or a summer block party, having the proper tools in your kitchen makes hosting easier.
How to make sure you have enough ice for a party.
As a rule of thumb, you should plan to have one pound, or two cups of ice, per guest. With 64% of Americans running out of ice multiple times per year, especially at summer parties, the Bosch QuickIce Pro System in 500 Series refrigerators make up to 40 glasses of ice per day*, meaning there will be enough ice to keep everyone’s drink cool. As the industry’s fastest refrigerator ice maker,** the Bosch QuickIce Pro System refrigerator allows you to enjoy time with your guests, rather than running to the store to pick up more ice in the middle of a party.
