Best Ice Ball Makers of 2025

"As a cocktail enthusiast, I was thrilled to try this ice ball maker. It quickly became essential for my home bar. Easy to use—just fill, close, and freeze. The ice spheres are perfectly clear and round, adding sophistication to my drinks. While it only makes a few at a time, it’s perfect for personal use or small gatherings."

"I took a chance on this ice maker for clear ice without taking up freezer space. The 24-hour wait is worth it. It requires a bit of effort to remove the mold, but the quality of the ice is outstanding. I'm hoping for a replacement mold soon, as I'd like both spheres and cubes."

"After using it about 10 times, I can confirm it creates perfectly clear ice. The construction is well designed for easy removal and seems to be very well made."

"I unwrapped the molds, washed them, and filled them with filtered water up to the line. After a few hours in the freezer, I figured out how to use them. The ice sphere from the colder deep freezer was a bit 'uglier' and had white crystals, but it still chilled my whiskey. The one from the upright freezer was prettier and clearer. They occasionally crack a bit, but they stay whole and melt slowly in my drink. They look great with my whiskies and outperform whiskey stones."

"I've got five cube molds and four ball molds, but the ice sphere is my favorite. Ice spheres melt slower than cubes due to less surface area, allowing for a controlled dilution of my bourbon. The Tovolo mold is the best I've tried; it doesn't leave that annoying 'saturn ring' like others do. I have two sets in my freezer and make them in batches. Sometimes they stick, but I have a method to easily release them without compromising their shape."

"At first, I was skeptical about these molds, but after reading the reviews, I decided to try them. I'm so glad I did! They stack nicely in the freezer and don't take up much space. The ice spheres don't dilute my drink like regular cubes, and they keep my drink colder for much longer. I've learned that using hot water makes the ice clearer. Although they only make two at a time, the quality is excellent, and there are plenty of other mold options available."

"I purchased this for my husband, and it works perfectly for his whiskey and scotch. It's easy to fill and place in the freezer, and the ice comes out of the mold without hassle. I also appreciate that we can store extra ice in a container!"

"This ice cube tray is fantastic! It's simple to use and adds a fancy touch to my drinks. I really love it!"

"Overall, I'm quite pleased with this product. However, I do find it a bit challenging to get the ice balls to be perfectly round. The instructions could be clearer, maybe an instructional video would help!"

"I really enjoy my ice spheres! They work wonderfully, and the price is just right."

"Filling these trays is straightforward, and I love how I can make festive ice cubes with cranberries and rosemary. They pop out easily once frozen, and I can store them in bags for special occasions!"

"I'm a fan of this ice maker! It's super convenient to keep my ice supply full for any drink, especially my morning iced lattes."

"I got two sets of these, and they work great! The round ice rocks are fantastic, and it's easy to extract the ice with a little warm water."

"I already had an all-silicone ice ball tray but bought this 4-pack for my freezer door. These smaller ice balls fit better in my glasses and are easier to fill compared to my old mold."

"My husband enjoys making his old-fashioned drinks with these ice molds. They keep his drinks cold for a long time and are a fun addition to our cocktail nights."

"I absolutely love these trays! They come with a scooper and are really easy to empty. I learned to fill them to the little raised lines for perfect ice balls. My ice stash looks great and keeps drinks cool!"

"Having no ice maker, I decided to try these trays. They make 96 ice balls that freeze quickly and pop out easily. I can just toss them in the dishwasher, and I love that I can refill for endless ice!"

"These trays are fantastic! They consistently create perfect ice cubes every time. I appreciate that they stack for storage, although they do take up some space in my freezer."

"This product works perfectly for me. No funnel needed, and it creates beautiful, large round ice with a diamond pattern. Just fill with water to the line and carefully put on the cover. It’s so easy and really enhances my cocktail experience!"

"I got this for my brother-in-law who drinks whiskey, and he was thrilled! He hated the small ice cubes from the freezer that watered down his whiskey. The size is perfect, and it melts slowly, which is just what he wanted. I’m not a whiskey drinker, but I think the ice balls look more sophisticated!"

"During my time in Scotland, I learned that a single large round ice ball is essential for a proper gin and tonic. These trays are perfect; they seal well, don’t leak, and the ice balls are perfectly formed. My G&Ts taste so much better now!"

"This ice ball tray has truly enhanced my drink experience. The elegance of the ice balls adds a special touch to my cocktails and liquor. I love that they melt slower than regular ice cubes, which means my drinks stay flavorful for longer!"

"I found these molds to be a great value. After a few tries, I learned how to fill them properly for the best results. Following some tips about boiling water and cleaning the trays helped me achieve clear ice spheres, which look fantastic in my whisky!"

"I initially tried making festive ice cubes for Christmas and faced some challenges. It took longer to freeze than I expected, and the balls didn't come out perfectly round. I decided to return it, as it felt like more effort than it was worth."

"I absolutely love this ice cube tray set! The round ice cubes add a stylish touch to my drinks, and the lid is a lifesaver for avoiding spills. The included bin is perfect for storing extra cubes, and the little scoop is so convenient."

"I got this tray for my iced coffee, and it has been a game-changer! After a suggestion from my husband, I started using coffee in the trays, so my ice doesn't water down my drink. They've held up beautifully for almost five months!"

"I never thought I'd call an ice tray adorable, but this one is! It's the perfect size for me, and the scoop is a nice touch. I did get splashed the first time I filled it, but it was a fun surprise!"

"I’m really impressed with this Clear Ice Cube Maker! The silicone tray makes it easy to pop out large, perfectly square ice cubes every time. These cubes melt slowly, which is perfect for sipping bourbon, whiskey, or old fashioneds without diluting them too quickly. Overall, a great addition to any home bar!"

"While I noticed a few minor imperfections in the ice cubes, they still look fantastic and add a touch of sophistication to my drinks. The 2-inch square cubes are perfect for whiskey, and they melt slowly, keeping my drinks chilled without dilution. I definitely recommend it for anyone looking to elevate their cocktail experience!"

"I've had this product for about a month now. Despite trying different methods, my cubes still don’t come out clear. Using very hot water seems to help a bit, but I still see small cracks. If anyone has tips, I’d love to hear them!"
