Diamond- & Sphere-Shaped Ice Blocks: Cool Shapes that Cool Drinks Fast

The hottest new gadget to cool beverages is the “ice block” mold from Lékué that freezes individual, oversized ice cubes.

Lékué presents two ice block shapes: a diamond and a sphere. Made of platinum silicone, the sphere ice block mold looks like a golf ball. The frozen sphere, when unmolded, maintains the dimpled texture of a real golf ball. The diamond-shaped ice block adds a little glamour to a cocktail or mocktail. Both ice blocks drop the temperature of a cocktail in seconds.

The molds can even be filled with flavored waters and herbs to spice up beverages, and the leak-proof stopper prevents contents from spilling in the freezer.

The leak-proof stopper on the mold prevents contents from spilling in the freezer. The ice block molds retail for $9 for one or $15 for a set of two.
