But I hate when they melt in the sun so fast.

Anyway Here they are Block Ice LOL for your glass

I love ice but I also like to chew on it and these would be way to big unfortunately

Got the "regular size" for general use and always have at least a tray of the 2-inchers for straight whisky and other drinks you don't want to have to race to finish before the ice melts. Love 'em.

When I was younger I thought it was a race to finish anything with alcohol in it. :)

If you're lucky, better whisky, better taste, and some (although often not many) more smarts come with age.

Post by: Pam Gould on July 21, 2020, 05:49:26 AM: I got 2 siicone ice cube trays exactly like the green ones pictured at Meijer's for less than $10. They are great for the camper, they release easily and are about 1 1/2" - 2" square..they are great for anything, but I use them for cocktails. I also have another one for freezing herbs in oil and after they are frozen I put them in ziploc bags in the freezer. I haven't made any soap yet but they will be perfect for that too. .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Post by: bamabob on July 22, 2020, 07:13:31 PM: A couple of years ago around Christmas I purchased a bottle of bourbon packaged in the gift pack. Came with an ice mold and tumbler. The mold makes an ice cube close to the size of a tennis ball. Lasts a long time.
