Gordon Ramsay Harvests Glacial Ice Cubes | Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted

After a rough voyage, we've arrived at the end of the Tracy Arm Fjord to search for glacial ice.

"Oh my God, it's a jelly! Gorgeous, it's beautiful!"

So we're looking for what size. "So what we want to look for is something that's very rounded, right? Uh, what about that one?"

"That's a no, Gordon. I don't think that one's gonna work. That's like your own private island. Let's try this one here to the left, the white one at 11 o'clock."

"Ten thousand years in the making, these glaciers produce the purest ice imaginable!"

"I like that one, perfect for cocktails."

"So the secret behind this is screwing these into the big block?"

"Yes, and then after that, we're going to hook it up and we're going to hoist it on board."

"Gotcha. This is the most work I've ever done. I hope this is going to make the best cocktails."

"Just trust me. Right, you ready?"

"Yes."

"Okay, start screwing. We're going to hook it up to a D-ring, and if it's not all the way in, it's going to crack the ice. You have to kind of be like over the water, you know, so you're on top of it. Let's just make sure they're really down deep."

"Are you kidding me, Michelle? They can't get any further in there."

"Okay, let's just hold it. Fingers are breathing. See, look, yours is coming out. Mine's coming out."

"Yeah, you gotta get that in deeper, deeper. Yeah, you're not all the way in. When we pull that up on the wench, it's going to crack. Perfect."

"Stop, stop, stop! Good job. That was fun. Amazing!"

"So you take the outer layer off, and then you get to some of those ice diamonds. Look at this. Oh, that's gorgeous, right? Look at that formation. Should we put that in a glass? What do you think? Throw a little scotch?"

"It's a good one. And now we need a little vermouth."

"I feel like one of the luckiest mixologists anywhere on the planet."

"Oh my Lord, look at that! Look at the colors!"

"I think we've earned it. Good enough. Cheers!"

"Look at that, what an ice cube. Oh my Lord, that's strong! I think it's 110 proof. Amazing!"

"Well done! I have bars, but I've never, ever touched an ice cube, but that's that perfect. And it just tasted so clean and fresh and slightly… in the way that it was almost, uh, lightly sort of, um, carbonated."

"And a great way, I think, to toast the beginning of this incredible cook with an amazing cocktail laced with glacier ice cubes."
