BOTANICALS Ice Design Tray

love it works great

It does the job, shapes your cubes and look nice. TBH I don’t use it much, turns out it was a product I didn’t need but it’s nice to have JUST INCASE you wanna feel like you’re at a nice bar and want some fancy cubes. I’d say go for it.

excelente

This ice cube design tray is quite neat. It does elevate the look of your cocktails (as long as you have actual clear ice cubes) but there are some practical issues I have had this product and some solutions to these problems. First it is difficult and impractical to put a design on each side of the cube. It takes more than 5 seconds to really get the design on the cube so I found it better to just let the ice cube sit on one side (which will be the top side when it is in the glass) for a few minutes. The next thing is that the design will quickly go away if you pour your drink over the cube, to resolve this issue use your bar spoon to gently set the ice cube in your drink and it will keep the design safer. The last issue I have doesn’t have a good solution, the “special” designs (not the patterns) don’t seem to last at all. They disappear almost immediately where as the simple patterns last for a good while. I am not sure why this is but it was kind of a disappointment. So overall this is neat but I wouldn’t buy this again. It does make a good decoration piece in a bar area.

I got this for a Christmas gift for my father. We had a lot of fun melting the patterns into the different ice cubes. The designs melt on quickly, but the longer they stay on the pattern the deeper the design and the longer it will keep said design while melting into your drink. A great gift for someone who enjoys iced drinks snd doesn’t want to try shaping ice in molds (beside a basic square).

Works as described. An easy fancy boost to entertaining.

I have been wanting one of these for such a long time. I was so excited to get it. It took weeks for it to come, (actually had to order a second one since the first one never actually arrived,) and it was shipped in a box with a couple other items. One of the other items bent it, and I had to bend it back. The metal it’s made from us incredibly soft, so that could be an issue down the road. It’s a really great item in theory for a bartender. Very cool. I just wasn’t too happy with the logistics of finally getting it. The rubber mat it stays in is great. The carrying bag is nice. Everything is great. Just wish it could’ve been handled a bit better.

Great white elephant party gift ideaGreat for the cocktail connoisseur
