Now you can enjoy fresh frozen fruit floating around in your summertime drinks. These delicious summer-appropriate ice cubes cleverly infuse real pieces of fruit directly into the ice cube for a fun fruit flavor. As the chilly cubes begin to melt in your drinks you’ll be left with a frozen piece of fruit that you can enjoy snacking on for a refreshing taste. To make these berry ice cubes fill your [ice trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-ice-sets) up roughly half way with water. Then pop in a piece of fruit—[small berries or cherries work best](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-riot-candy-crunch-cherries)—and put the tray into the freezer. You can substitute the water with juice if you’d like a stronger fruit flavor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fruit-infused Products:** Businesses could expand their product offerings to include other fruit-infused items like popsicles, drinks, and even snacks. - **Sustainable Packaging:** Creating environmentally-friendly packaging for the fruit-infused ice cubes could attract eco-conscious customers. - **DIY Food Products:** Companies could offer DIY kits to make fruit-infused ice cubes and other food items with customers creating their own flavor combinations at home. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage Industry:** Businesses can create unique fruit-infused products to attract customers who want to try new and innovative products. - **Hospitality Industry:** Bars and restaurants can offer fruit-infused ice cubes in their drinks to provide a unique and refreshing experience for their customers. - **Home Goods Industry:** Companies can create innovative ice cube trays to make it easier for customers to make their own fruit-infused ice cubes at home. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nutrient-Infused Ice Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roxii-supercube.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Ice Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdration-kitchen.md) - [Vitamin Hydration Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterdrops-fusion-collection.md) - [Electrolyte Hydration Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterdrops-microlyte.md) - [Cooling Beer Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beercubes1.md) - [Lemonade-Flavored Hydration Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-lemonade-microdrink.md) - [Berry-Infused Salts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infused-koyo-berry-salt.md) - [Cubed Cocktail Mixers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixicles.md) - [Frozen Berry Fruit Pearls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-pearls-triple-berry.md)
