5 Great Ways To Showcase Your Ice Balls.

Colored Balls

Free your inner creative self by putting in a hint of color to your balls of ice. You can achieve this by adding a couple of drops of food coloring to the ice mold after the water filled mold has been in the freezer for approximately an hour or so. You can put in a bit more food coloring if you prefer more vivid colors. On the other hand, if you're adding the ice balls to fruit juice , you can put juice in the molds in place of water and freeze. This way you have colored AND flavored ice orbs! Just simply add an ice juice round into a glass, pour the fruit juice over and serve. It’s much less likely your juice would taste watered-down by doing this!

Flower Balls

Seeking to add a touch of Zen in to your drink? Create flower ice spheres! You can easily create these by putting the flower of your choice into the ice ball mold, snap the 2 mold pieces together and put distilled or filtered water in the mold up until the fill line and freeze. As soon as you release the ball from the mold you'll get a dazzling ice ball with the flower frozen inside.

To get more visual clarity of the imbedded flower you can try adding filtered water and freeze from top to bottom. You may accomplish this by putting the filled ice ball molds into a cooler. Put water around the molds and put the entire cooler in your freezer. Naturally, you'll need to get a cooler small enough to fit in your freezer. Once frozen, take out the cooler, chip away the ice surrounding the edges of the molds to loosen them and slowly unmold. Done! Clearer ice balls allow the flower to show through much more.

Fruit And Herb Balls

This is done in the same way as making flower balls but this time around, utilizing fruit and/or herbs! Be imaginative and use your favored colorful fruit which is in season such as: strawberries, raspberries, lemon or lime wedges, pieces of kiwi, or other types of vibrant fruits or berries. Including your favorite herb to your fruit balls not only gives added flavor but looks beautiful too!

Glam Balls

Who knew ice could be so attractive? Particularly when it's very easy to do? Just freeze your ice round as usual, put it in a wide rim drinking glass, put your preferred refreshment or cocktail over it and put in some edible silver or gold flakes over the ice. It would undoubtedly be even better if you could find edible gold or silver leaves to use instead.

Multi Purpose Balls

For parties, you can even pile up some clear or colored ice balls on a beautiful platter or bowl. They ought to keep their shape until the party is over especially through the winter season! You may also mix them up with crushed ice and, with the right lighting, you'll get a beautiful display of ice on your buffet table . Why not fill an ice bucket with ice balls and place your bottle of wine or bubbly in it to remain cooled for longer?
