ONE TRUCK FOR YOUR WHOLE EVENT
Big news from 26 Hanover Street: Ice Makers JA is now a licensed liquor, tobacco & beverage wholesaler. Rum, beer, tonic wine, energy drinks and mixers by the case — sold wholesale or on consignment — alongside the bulk ice, bins, tables, chairs, cooling fans and buckets we already deliver. Here's why an ice company selling liquor isn't a stretch. It's the obvious next move.
The problem: five suppliers for one party
Anyone who has stocked a bar or thrown a real event in Kingston knows the runaround. The liquor comes from a wholesaler on one side of town. The ice comes from somewhere else — and it had better arrive last, or it's water. Tables and chairs from a rental company. Fans from wherever you can find them. Buckets from a shop downtown. Five phone calls, five deliveries, five chances for something to show up late, and usually one truck fee per supplier.
Every one of those trips costs you time, fuel and coordination — and if just one supplier misses, the whole event feels it. We watched our customers live this every weekend, because we were already one of the five trucks. So we became the truck.
Why ice + liquor just makes sense
Think about what a liquor wholesaler needs to be good at: keeping stock secure, moving cases fast, and delivering reliably to bars, shops and events on a deadline. That is exactly the business we've been building with ice — same customers, same routes, same trucks, same "it has to be there before the gates open" discipline.
And the products aren't just neighbours — they're partners. Nobody drinks warm rum. Every case of beer we sell needs bags of ice next to it, and every ice order for a fete has liquor arriving from somewhere. Selling them together means the cold chain and the bar stock finally travel on the same truck, timed together. Your beer lands already sitting next to the ice that will chill it.
Wholesale, by the case
Stock your bar, shop or event at real wholesale rates: white overproof rum, aged rum, beer & stout, tonic wine, energy drinks, chasers & mixers, tobacco and grabba — by the case. If you run a bar in or around Kingston, one account now covers the shelf and the ice box. Read more on the liquor wholesale page.
Consignment: stock now, pay as it sells
This is the part bar operators and vendors ask about most. On consignment, you collect stock today on agreed terms, sell it at your bar or event, and settle as it moves — with returns accepted on unsold stock. Your shelves stay full without your cash being tied up in inventory, and a big weekend doesn't require a big float on Thursday.
For event promoters it's even sharper: take the bar stock for your fete on consignment, sell the night, and settle after — instead of gambling your budget on cases you might not open. Spirits sell reliably in Jamaica; we carry that risk comfortably, and it wins us customers who grow with us.
The one-stop shop, open 12 hours a day
Put it all together and here's what sourcing an event in Kingston looks like now — one stop, one call, one delivery:
- Liquor & beverages — wholesale cases or consignment
- Ice — slow-melting 10lb tube ice bags, party bins with ice included, mid-event refills
- Party rentals — tables, folding chairs, outdoor cooling fans, ice buckets
And because fetes don't keep office hours, neither do we: the Hanover Street depot is open 12 hours a day, seven days a week — so the Friday-night top-up run and the Sunday-morning restock are both covered.
