Abstract

System and method of cooling and dispensing a liquid, such as a beverage. The system can include a liquid source, a cooling reservoir, a dispensing valve, and a liquid conduit. The liquid conduit can connect the liquid source to the dispensing valve. The liquid conduit can be constructed of a thermally-conductive material. The liquid conduit can pass through the cooling reservoir. The invention can include a method of providing cooled liquids to a dispensing valve. The method can include maintaining ice and a cooling liquid in a cooling reservoir near the dispensing valve, pumping liquid through a thermo conductive conduit positioned in the ice and cooling liquid, and pumping the liquid out of the dispensing valve.
