It’s the science of mixology. Yes, there is an art to creating fine cocktails. Choosing the optimal spirits is important, as is mixing the right recipes and serving them up in an appropriate glass. But to truly add the finishing touch, the ice cubes are an integral part of the recipe, too. Don’t detract from your finely crafted cocktail by using the wrong ice cubes in your drink. Depending on the beverage, square cubes may be called for, while for others a single, round ice cube is the best enhancement.
Flexible and durable
The Adoric silicone ice cube tray gives you what you need to create the perfect square or spherical ice cubes to adorn your cocktails. Each tray produces six precise cubes. The spherical cubes are 1.8 inches in diameter. Why do we need these? Spherical cubes will melt more slowly and have less surface area touching your drink, so you can enjoy its optimum taste for longer without it diluting from ice melt. The square cubes are 2 inches in size and are ideal for your Old Fashioned, Scotch whiskey, bourbon, or blended whiskey. Both trays are made of durable silicone and are BPA-free. Can also be used to make popsicle treats for kids, freeze sauces, baby food, or create a special liqueur for a surprise treat for your guests.

Safe for dishwasher
The glacio ice cube trays create six large-sized cubes each. The square cubes come in at just under 2 inches and will keep all your beverages on the rocks chilled for peak enjoyment. The spherical molds are a must for making a traditional mint julep or use them for more impressive Mojitos. Both sets produce large cubes that will melt slowly or chill the glass before you add your beverage. Made of food-grade silicone, BPA-free, and easy to clean, these trays are dishwasher safe. Both trays are from flexible silicon that makes it a cinch to free the cubes by twisting or pushing them free from the bottom. Also, use these to freeze soup or fruit juice.
