Enjoying a watered down drink is sometimes not what you're looking for and iceDrops are a cute, water-free way to [keep a drink cold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cool-can). Made from ceramic to ensure they are a safe product to place into a beverage, iceDrops come in a variety of different shapes ranging from nuts and bolts to hearts and coils.

Some [waterless ice options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphere-ice-makers) can leach harmful chemicals into your beverage because of the plastic used in their production. iceDrops on the other hand are crafted from quality porcelain, which is non-porous and easy to keep clean. One of the best features of iceDrops is their ability to be used in a drink without scratching the [surface of the glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drink-gems), which other soapstone products can tend to do.
