Infused Ice Spheres

This Sphere Ice Mold Creates Crystal-Clear Balls of Ice

— January 7, 2019 — Lifestyle
One factor that could drastically alter the taste of your drink is the melting rate of ice. Smaller ice cubes tend to melt faster and dilute the drinks more easily. Nobody likes their drink watery and flavorless. With this sphere ice mold, the Polar Ice Ball Maker, you can produce large and round ice balls that melt significantly slower than their cube counterparts, ensuring your drinks taste good longer.

Nothing's better than a cup of whiskey on the rocks, with the subtle reflection from an ice ball glowing ever so slightly in the background.

If your guests weren't impressed by your sphere-shaped ice cubes, add in a little bit of surprise (like rose petals, mint leaves or fruit slices) in between the two silicone layers to create flavored ice balls.

Made of food-grade silicone and SGS certified PP plastic, the Polar Ice Ball Maker helps you enjoy drinks with confidence.
Trend Themes
1. Slow-melting Ice - Create large and round ice balls that melt significantly slower than traditional ice cubes, ensuring drinks stay flavorful longer.
2. Enhanced Presentation - Add surprise elements such as rose petals, mint leaves, or fruit slices to create visually appealing flavored ice balls.
3. Food-grade Materials - Use food-grade silicone and SGS certified PP plastic to ensure safe and confident drink enjoyment.
Industry Implications
1. Beverage - Innovate with slow-melting ice products to enhance the taste and overall experience of beverages.
2. Hospitality - Elevate the presentation of drinks by incorporating visually appealing and flavored ice balls into the service.
3. Kitchenware - Develop and market ice mold products using food-grade materials to meet consumer demands for safe and high-quality drink accessories.
