Entertaining Essentials: The Ice Cubes That Will Make Your Ice Bucket Better Looking
The city is already hot, hot, hot. New Yorkers are already complaining about it. But we’re psyched about the rising temps, and we, (along with Foreigner) have a colorful, delicious way to keep your party perfectly chilled, and make you look supercool in the process.
Our flavored ice cubes use fresh fruits and herbs to take your cocktails to the next level. Take 10 minutes to blend these ingredients together and hours later you’ll have a bright accompaniment to any of your favorite bevs — perfect additions to that vodka soda, tequila with lime, or to plop into your brunch bubbly. You don’t need to sacrifice your love… for beautiful, yum-o-licious warm-weather spirits.
All you have to do is blend these babies and put ’em in an ice cube mold. Easy? We thought so.
