Use a Large Ice Cube Tray to Serve Perfectly Chilled Drinks

Some drinks just taste better served on the rocks or lightly chilled. Make your own ice with a large ice cube tray from Williams Sonoma. Prepare them in advance and serve your friends and family cool, refreshing drinks all summer long.

What Styles Can I Buy?

Cool, clean water quenches your thirst and keeps you hydrated throughout the day. Whether you're a fan of still or sparkling water, ice cubes are the fastest way to cool your drinks. The shape and size of your ice impacts how quickly it melts and can make a big difference in how your drinks, especially cocktails, taste. That's why it matters what size and type of ice cube tray you use. Here are some popular styles and sizes for everyday use.

• Slim ice sticks are for tall, narrow glasses. They will take longer to melt and stave off dilution. They also work great in most water bottles.
• Small cubes are the workhorse of the ice cube world. They melt consistently and are perfect for all sorts of drinks.
• For drinks that pack a boozy punch, such as an Old Fashioned or Vieux Carrés, opt for a larger ice cube. They take longer to melt, therefore keeping your drink from getting diluted.
• Shop the Harry Potter ™ collection to add a magical look to your drinkware.

What are the Trays Made Of?

Silicone ice cube trays are a great alternative to plastic. They are soft and pliable and don't contain any BPA. To remove ice cubes from a silicone tray, simply flex both sides of the tray to pop the cubes out.
