A deicer has Calcium Magnesium Acetate in a concentration greater than 25% by volume, leaving a remaining concentration, rock salt in the remaining concentration to form a mixture wherein water is added to the mixture such that the mixture dissolves in the water when the deicer is ready for use. A method of use for a deicer has the steps of adding water to a deicing mixture of Calcium Magnesium Acetate and rock salt, mixing the water and mixture such that the mixture dissolves in the water, to form a liquid deicer, and spreading the liquid deicer on ice. A deicing traction aid has a mixture comprising Calcium Magnesium Acetate in a concentration greater than 25% by volume, leaving a remaining concentration, rock salt in the remaining concentration, and a plurality of particles, wherein each particle is coated in the mixture.
