Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and when it comes to drinking, apparently many will toast to that. Just look at all these whiskey stones. Upping the ante (and the price) are the Skybar Chill Cubes. Not only do the reusable ice cubes come with a new and shiny stainless steel exterior, but the set also includes handy cube holders to keep by the side of your booze-filled glass. Better than chipping your teeth out when sipping.

Ice is nice and all, but if you really want to make a splash add some flavor to that frozen water. The Lemon/Lime Ice Cube Trays come in a set of two and are specifically-designed to turn regular lemon and lime slices into flavor-bursting ice cubes. Just place the citrus slices into the trays and fill with water. The ice freezes around the lemon and lime wedges, creating a fun and easy way to add flavor to cool summer beverages–even lemonade. Or perhaps, especially lemonade, considering every drink will pack that refreshing pucker-punch.

Hot day, cold wine: good. Hot day, warm wine: not-so-good. But in these days of summer, it so often seems there isn’t enough time to chill the wine. One could do the seemingly sensible thing and drop an ice cube in the glass to cool down the wine quickly and effectively. Then again, that move is regarded as a faux pas by many. (Unless you’re drinking Two Buck Chuck, in which that case dilution would be a good thing.)

If you like what you’re drinking, but just want it cool, now, the Make My Day ChillBall Intelligent Ice In-Glass Wine Chiller offers a good (non-toxic) solution. The sealed spheres each contain a food-safe non-toxic gel and are designed to go from freezer to glass with no flavor-destroying side effects. And if you still get sideways glances and rude stares just tell ‘em it’s the good stuff.

Cans and bottles that tell you when your beer is cold are just too hard to operate. I mean, what if you want your beer ice cold? When the mountains turn blue does that mean it’s ice cold or just regular cold? It’s an important difference. One way to know for sure is to ditch the can and go for the Strapya World Frozen Beer Mug Maker. Consisting of a plastic handle, a base and the ice mold, the mug-maker lets you create a one-time-use beer mug made out of ice. Since the ice will eventually melt it will require require drinkers to stay at least somewhat aware, but if you really need some help in the matter perhaps drawing on a set of red mountains will help.

Apparently, there is something called the World Cup that is a big deal. I guess it’s a soccer tournament or something. Whether or not you are familiar this Bizarro World game of ‘football’ doesn’t matter, because now you can take home a piece of the action (at least until it melts away).

There’s no reason disrespect a tall glass filled with a refreshing beverage by adding just any ordinary ice cube. At least not when it’s this easy to super-size it.

The large two-inch receptacles are great not only for filling with water, but could also be used to produce jumbo-sized frozen juice cubes to add an interesting twist to your favorite adult beverages—despite the huge size, please remember to drink responsibly.
