This ice mold creates four perfectly round ice balls at a time, which melt slowly and keep drinks chilled without diluting them.

It's a small but impactful tool that adds a touch of elegance to any drink. A must-have for anyone who enjoys entertaining or crafting the perfect cocktail!

I love these, really last longer. Recommend

I think I don't have the method perfected yet, but it works reasonably well for making ice spheres for mixed drinks I'd like to keep cold but not water down by adding multiple traditional ice cubes. Sometimes the seal of the two parts has overflow within the closed section of the tray and that may be due to not being clearly able to view when the water is close to the top of the fill hole. Since water expands when it turns to ice it may cause some split and slightly imperfect spheres for me-- a learning curve to get used to when preparing these ice spheres. They're easy to remove from the silicone ice ball maker which is a plus and even though I've had a bit of trouble perfecting the ice spheres I have managed to create usable pieces for mixed drinks. The unit definitely stays in place in the freezer so that I'm not worried about it tipping over while waiting for the water to chill before making a new set. For the price it's a good deal and is well made for the multiple times I've used it already.

For me, It was painful filling the balls with water. I think I prefer the cubes.

This ice tray works great! The size is perfect and the silicone material is very pliable which makes it easy to use!

This ice mold is very well made, not too flimsy and does hold the water once you fill it up. You will need to make sure it has a place to sit in your freezer where it will not spill. Once it is done, the ice molds pop right out and are ready for use! Perfect for summer and a very good price for the quality!

Following the instructions, it recommends that you fill the bottom half of the mold with water up to the top of the line on the bottom molds, which should be all you need. Didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me but I did that and aligned/put the top mold on top of the bottom mold, when I did that the water from the bottom mold did push the water up and filled the top mold to the top ice ball hole/nipple. Pretty cool how that worked. The only problem with that and I did not realize it until all my ice balls where done and I cracked them out of the mold. You will definitely have a ring around your ice spheres if you don’t make sure that when you do set that top mold down it needs to marry up with the bottom mold seams perfectly all the way around each of the individual 4 ice molds.Technically speaking the top and bottom molds has a tongue and grove indent (the seam) that when closed properly is supposed to snap flat and flush together to keep the water isolated and contained to each sphere when freezing, if these two pieces has a gap in it and not properly seated you will get that ring around your ice ball without fail. Found that out after all mines came out with that crazy size ring around them. I then realized that I didn’t make sure the two pieces was snapped securely together. BUT……….per instructions that is pretty hard to do when it is filled with water, there is a learning curve and process that goes with that.I recommend ditching the instructions and just do like I figured out how to fill these molds to get perfect round spheres, ring free. Now we are doing the opposite of what the instructions is telling you do. Take the two molds and put them together,( You’re doing this with NO WATER IN THEM) take your fingers and go around each of the four molds snapping them flat and flush, you should hear and feel it going flat as you go around each one. You should also see both bottom and top lips of the molds perfectly kissing each other with no raised portion on them all the way around the mold, if you seated each mold correctly. Take your water and fill up each of the four molds through the hole/nipple on the top, fill the water all the way until it just overflows out of the holes. Don’t worry about over spills in the tray until you filled up all four molds. If you care you can take your thumb and index finger from both hands and cover up all four holes at the same time and flip the mold over to drain out the overfill water in the tray before you stick it in the freeze, trust me you will not see any more or a whole lot of water in that tray when you take it back out the freezer. What you will have is a perfectly round (not deformed) ice balls, with no rings. ‘NO RINGS’.By the way I did use purified water (Dasani) for testing, it was an improvement but I wouldn’t go out the way and say that’s the way to go.
