glacio Round Ice Cube Molds
Gone are the days, for a lot of people, of just grabbing ice from the kitchen freezer to make a cocktail. As bars and restaurants everywhere continue to raise the bar on cocktail quality, people are beginning to want a similar experience at home. That starts with ice!
One popular ice choice is a large ball. They look great, last a long time, and don’t water down cocktails nearly as quickly as smaller cubes. And one of the best options I’ve found for making them is the glacio Round Ice Cube Molds. If space is a premium, these molds come as individual pieces, so many can me stored in all the nooks and crannies in your freezer. Sold as a convenient 4 pack, after dinner cocktails for 2 are sure to be a delight.

Pros
- Fitment – The halves of this mold fit very well together. There is no leaky mess when refilling.
- Silicon Construction – Stays pliable and non-stick even at freezing temperatures.
- Long-lasting – The large size of the ice balls created by these molds makes them last a very long time with very little watering down of your delicious cocktail.
Cons
- Thick base – While the thick, flat-bottom base keeps these molds in place, they can make removing the ice difficult. A little practice with technique goes a long way
- Size – while the large size does make the ice last a long time, it can sometimes feel like the ice is the star of the glass rather than the spirits.
- No Fill Line – It takes some guesswork to figure out how much water to add to get a full ball without any overflow through the fill hole
Overall Rating
This is one of my favorite ice molds to date. It is well constructed, holds up to the cold very well, and with a little practice, the ice is relatively easy to remove. Additionally, the long lasting nature of the ice makes the glacio Round Ice Cube Mold a winner. 4.5 stars.
