Ash Harbor Patterns Ice Maker Tray
If you care about your spirits and cocktails, odds are you already use large cubes (or spheres) of ice to chill your drinks when necessary. This tray from Ash Harbor can elevate your ice from a simple shape to a design. It's made from aluminum, which quickly turns ambient heat into patterns on the ice, with multiple designs on board and the ability to hold 12 2" x 2" cubes at a time, and a silicone tray underneath to hold the runoff. Like steaks on a hot grill, simply leave them for a few seconds per side to see the results, then drop them in a glass, pour your drink, and enjoy.
