Product Information
Full details
The Zoku Ice Ball Mold is designed for cocktail enthusiasts and home entertainers who want to elevate their drink presentation while maintaining the integrity of their beverages. The primary benefit of these molds is the creation of large 6.4cm spheres that melt slowly to prevent rapid dilution, making them ideal for spirits and craft cocktails; however, users should be aware that they require significant freezer space to ensure a level freeze for perfectly spherical results.

Can I use these molds for liquids other than water?

What is the diameter of the ice sphere?
The molds produce ice spheres with a diameter of 6.4cm (2.5 inches).
Do I need to leave room for expansion?

Can I store the ice balls once they are frozen?
Yes, once frozen, you can remove the spheres from the molds and store them in a freezer-safe bag for later use.
Troubleshooting
The ice sphere has a flat top or is incomplete
Ensure you are filling the mold to the designated fill line and that your freezer shelf is perfectly level.
The mold is difficult to open
Run the exterior of the mold under lukewarm water for 15 seconds to soften the ice slightly.
Cloudy ice appearance
Use distilled or pre-boiled, cooled water to reduce air bubbles and mineral content that cause cloudiness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Zoku Ice Ball Molds, hand-wash them with warm, soapy water to ensure they are clean. When filling, pour water up to the fill line to account for expansion during the freezing process. Always ensure the lid is seated firmly to prevent leaks. For care, the molds are durable but should be hand-washed to maintain the integrity of the flexible silicone. Avoid using abrasive sponges that might scratch the interior surfaces, as imperfections on the mold wall can make it harder to remove the ice. If you encounter difficulty opening the mold, running it under lukewarm water for a few seconds will break the frost seal.
