How to make the perfect ice cubes
There’s nothing like the satisfying clink of ice in a glass to set the mood for a refreshing drink. But not all ice cubes are created equal. Cloudy, uneven cubes can water down your cocktails, while clear, perfectly shaped ice makes every glass look (and taste) a little more special. With Point-Virgule’s silicone ice molds, you can easily create professional-quality ice cubes right at home whether you prefer classic spheres, diamonds, spike cubes, or even fun cactus balls.
The secret to crystal-clear ice: warm water
The trick to getting ice cubes that are beautifully clear rather than cloudy lies in the water you use. Instead of filling your molds with cold tap water, use boiled or filtered warm water (cooled slightly so it’s safe to pour). This reduces air bubbles and impurities, giving your ice a smooth, glass-like finish. Perfect for cocktails, mocktails, or simply elevating your sparkling water.
Step-by-step: How to use our silicone ice molds
Making the perfect ice cubes is easy with our silicone molds. Here’s how:
-
Fill with water: pour warm water into the bottom tray until it’s almost full.
-
Close the mold: place the top part firmly onto the bottom tray. A small hole allows excess water to escape.
-
Freeze: place the mold in the freezer for a few hours (ideally overnight).
-
Release: gently open the mold and pop out your perfect ice creations.
That’s it: no fuss, no mess. Just smooth, professional-looking ice cubes every time.
