craigthom Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 While the balls are great, an easier way to make a single, big ice cube is cut off the bottom of a plastic water bottle and use that as a mold. Pick a bottle that's just a little smaller than the glass you want to use. Similar effect, but a lot easier to make.But it's not nearly as pretty. Any shape other than a sphere will have a larger surface-to-mass ratio, but probably not enough to make a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paris1129 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I had seen these online last summer and really wanted them, but the molds were a bit too pricey for me to bite. I was so pumped when I got these in the mail after Christmas! I have already used them several times, and they are nice. While I usually drink my bourbon (and other whisky for that matter) neat, it is nice to have this option that minimized dillution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BourbonJoe Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I never got one. They sound pretty neat though. I guess I'll turn in my ambassadorship.Joe :usflag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docbible Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I love the MM ice balls. I placed one in s highball glass with ER 17 yerterday and left it on the counter while I finished putting up the christmas decorations. I heard a loud "POP" and looked back at the glass. The ball had shattered into about six pieces and splashed my bourbon all over the counter. Only lost some bourbon and glad it didn't happen while in hand, kicked back and relaxing in the easy chair. tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got two mailings from them: the ornament and a Christmas card. The card appeared to actually be signed by a whole mess of people. Julie wrote my name, so I know she signed it.
