If you're looking for a way to consume your alcoholic beverages in a novel way, then these ice shot glasses are exactly what the fraternity doctor ordered.

You make these frozen drink glasses in a process identical to making traditional ice cubes, though instead of pouring water into a standard tray, you pour it in a [silicone mold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphere-ice-makers) that is in the shape of a revolver cylinder. Your ice shot glass mold can make six of these ice glass cups at a time, and they hold 1 1/3 ounces of liquid each. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, they recommend filling one of the glasses with vinegar for a [drinking version of Russian roulette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-jellies).

The mold is dishwasher safe, which is great because after the night of drinking, you'll do with your ice shot glasses anything that makes cleaning easier will be greatly appreciated.
