Learn how to add a splash of class and get enthusiastic responses from your guests when you serve a drink with an ice ball in it. And discover the secret why an ice ball is so much better than standard ice cubes and crushed ice.
(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, May 09, 2014 ) Phoenix, Arizona -- Ice balls in lieu of crushed ice has become the craze in popular bars. Now an ice ball maker is available for home use!
Most of the bars and restaurants that serve ice balls in cocktails are using large, heavy, and expensive ice presses made of big chunks of metal that use weight and friction to melt down a big block of ice into a sphere. Although it is fun to watch the ice ball magically appear, the press can cost about a grand; and that is not really in the price range for the average cocktail fanatic.
There is a new kitchen gadget company on the scene today, Kitchen Top Secret, that has recently launched their flagship product, a 6 pack Ice Ball Maker set. Kitchen Top Secret has just introduced a light-weight, compact, and inexpensive method to creating ice balls for the home. Now a home cocktail party can be as cool as the trendy nightclub in town.
The set of silicone ice ball molds easily snap together, are then filled with water and put it in the freezer. Wait a few hours later and the ice ball is ready to use. Because there is a set of six, making several at one time and then refilling them ensures there are always some ice balls ready for a guest's cocktail.
There have been several reports about high-end liquor sales being on the rise, and distilleries increasing production. This is not just because more people are going to the bars. In fact, much of the new sales are contributed to personal use.
At a couple points in US history, the cocktail party (or a derivative there of) was in abundance. Think about the Roaring 20s and the happy go lucky 50s. In fact the cocktail party at a persons house was very common in the 50s & 60s. Care was made to have several types of alcohol on hand so as to make many popular drinks, and special appetizers were made to soak up all of those drinks. It seems that this old trend is becoming new again.
People have been drinking cocktails on the rocks for decades, many of them like a chilled drink. However, crushed ice melts very fast at room temperature and the melting ice will dilute a cocktail very quickly. The ice ball made from Kitchen Top Secret's silicone mold helps to solve this issue. A sphere of ice has much less surface area to volume ratio than crushed ice, therefore, it melts much slower, and thus cools the cocktail without watering it down as fast.
Kitchen Top Secret ice ball makers currently sell exclusively through Amazon. This makes it easy and safe for online purchases. The shipping takes very little time, so orders made in the middle of the week have often arrived by the weekend - just in time for a cocktail party by the pool!
The ice ball molds are very compact so they fit in just about any drawer or cubby in your home bar. The molds are made of FDA approved silicone so they are food friendly and dishwasher safe. Because they are a snap together mold, you don't have to worry about ice melting all over your counter from a press, and they are not likely to spill in the freezer - just use the reference fill line to allow for water expansion.
The Kitchen Top Secret Ice Ball maker brings jet-set modern luxury and excitement to your everyday life.
