Ice cube ideas? These 5 variations spice up your drink

Ice cubes help to cool down and give the drink that certain something. But why always freeze water when it can be much more creative? Here are our top 5 recipes:

1. Lemon and mint ice cubes are great for adding a little flavor to the water. Simply put a small slice of lemon and a mint leaf in the ice cube mold together with the water.
2. Juice ice cubes are another perfect idea. To do this, you simply have to fill the ice cube molds with juice instead of water and let them harden. It’s especially delicious if you choose the same juice that you want to use to prepare your drink later – watered-down drinks are a thing of the past!
3. Another great idea to keep the drink from becoming watery: Freeze pieces of fruit instead of water. Balls made of melon, grapes, or berries are perfect here. They keep the drink cool and can also be eaten as a snack after the drink is finished. Try a fruity summer cocktail with strawberry ice cubes, for example.
4. Coffee ice cubes are perfect for a delicious iced coffee in summer. To do this, brew coffee, fill it into the ice cube molds, and let the coffee freeze. Then put the frozen coffee ice cubes in a glass of cold milk and enjoy your iced coffee.
5. If you want to make your drink look nicer, ice cubes can also help. Ice cubes with flowers not only keep your drink cool but also make it look nicer. All you need for this are small, edible flowers. You can also take large flowers and then cut them to size. For the beautiful ice cubes, simply add the flowers to the water that has not yet frozen and then freeze them.
