Show me unsuitable: There’s categorically no higher method to enhance the presentation of a cocktail than by serving it with a spherical ice ball. The difficulty is making them. Spherical ice molds are a large ache within the butt, and hand-carving spheres is one thing finest left to extremely educated Japanese cocktailing masters.

For the remainder of us there’s the ice ball press. I reviewed one in every of these years in the past for somebody, and I nonetheless have it — however I by no means use it. Why? As a result of the molds you need to use to make the ice are enormous and onerous to get out, and the press takes endlessly to show a fats cylinder right into a sphere. Pressice Barware solves quite a lot of these issues. The molds are a bit smaller — you may make 4 at a time within the roughly cubicle silicone tray, which is included — they usually’re simpler to launch and get into the press.

As soon as there, the press goes to work, its hefty slab of aluminum pushing down on the ice (thanks, gravity!) to create a fairly excellent sphere, 60mm throughout, in lower than a minute. (Mine nonetheless are inclined to have a flat edge on one aspect, however they’re fairly shut.) The smaller balls aren’t fairly as spectacular as those made by the bigger press I’ve, however they nonetheless look nice within the glass and, extra importantly, they work nicely. I’ve had one sitting in an quaint for 90 minutes and half of it’s nonetheless stable ice.

So get one. $250 will get you the press, a picket field to maintain it in, a rubber bar mat, the silicone mould, a pleasant quaint glass, and a set of tongs. Costly, sure, however if you wish to make an actual assertion with your property cocktail recreation, price it. Additionally, Pressice (get it?) says a bigger unit is on the way in which, if large balls are finally your factor. We don’t decide.
