Silicone Ice Ball Molds for Whiskey - Set of 4 Round Makers with Lids for Cocktails, Bourbon, and Drinks

I just wrote out a lengthy, descriptive review for this product and lost it when I accidentally refreshed the page, and I just can't make myself do it all over again. So I'll just hit the highlights: Unlike the other versions of this product I've tried (from different makers) this one is sturdy, easy to fill and close, doesn't leak, doesn't fall apart and it's easy to remove the ice from the mold. I just pull the two pieces apart and so far the ice always stays in the silicone side. pull back the edges of the silicone side of the mold while pushing down in the middle. (Caveat: the way I do it makes the ice come out with some force, so I definitely have to add the ice first, then the liquid.) I don't care if the ice is perfectly round and I haven't made any effort to fill it perfectly to the line. Even so, it's pretty round. I like that, if I overfill it, the extra ice pushes the stopper off instead of pushing the two halves apart. If you use a standard Tervis cup the ice will get stuck before it reaches the bottom of the cup but once you add the liquid it rises enough to let the liquid through. That said, if I was using a powdered drink mix in a Tervis cup I wouldn't put the mix under the ice because it takes longer to mix it up. And due to the ice-coming-out-with-force issue I mentioned, I definitely wouldn't recommend putting the ice in last in that scenario. Bottom line: I would definitely buy this again and they are well worth the cost in my opinion.

These are great ice cube molds for whiskey and other liquors. What I like is that the top is clear so you can see how much water is needed to fill the ball. I have bought other molds which were not transparent and the only way to ensure it is filled is by overflow. A small funnel is included which makes filling a bit easier. It is fairly easy to remove the ice cube from the mold. The mold comes in two halves plus a cover to help prevent spillage in the freezer and allow filling. However, its needed to keep the molds as upright as possible as the covers are not 100% secure. I like that I can make ice cubes individually--takes up less space and easier to find space when the freezer is cramped. A good design and enjoyable for mixed drinks!

Works better than the last set of pure silicon on both sides worked. Not as easy to remove ice ball from plastic portion as it tends to stay in the clear plastic rather than the silicon bowl. It does make a nice ice ball and i don't know that any mold is going to be as easy as i'd like.

This is a ease to use. Putting them together was easy. I used the little funnel that was included and it worked well to fill the molds. I love the design as it not too bulky. The ice came out the mold with ease. No leaks were detected. It was a welcome fine to a home bar.

Easy to assemble, easy to clean, and easy to fill. Snug fit of silicon and plastic speaks to good quality control. The fill line on the side is perfect for getting a proper sphere. Flat bottom to silicon allows it to stay upright more easily in freezer, but stopper prevents leaks if it tilts slightly. Fits great in a scotch glass, or in most standard houseware glasses and cups. Only minor complaint is that the resulting ice is 1mm too wide for the mouth of a 40 oz TAL. Run a little water over it to melt the edges before dropping it in, and it's all good. Very happy with purchase.

These work as described. Pretty easy to use in all aspects - easy to fill, freeze in reasonable amount of time, mold release was easy. You will end up with a cloudy, spherical ice cube with a ridge at the parting line. This may be fine for you, but read further if you want ”the perfect” ice sphere. Like most similar ice molds, these will result in cloudy ice - not clear. Further, I’ve found that the concentration of trapped air/gasses/impurities seem to be most concentrated at the parting line. This creates a strange phenomenon where melting of the sphere seems accelerated at the “equator”. In fact, I’ve even had cubes that melted into two hemispheres in a relatively short time. In conclusion, the price is reasonable and they work. If you don’t want perfect spheres, these are a good starting point for you. If you want perfect clear spheres, you should look at other more costly options.

Just Perfect!! Easy fill, great ice cubes!!

Good product, they do melt even though slowly. So two sets will keep up with the need
