Pick any letter from A to Z and this silicone mould freezes a large, properly detailed initial that sits beautifully in a rocks glass or tumbler. It’s a small thing that makes a drink feel considered.
Because you choose the letter, it reads as a personalised gift without carrying a personalised gift price tag, and without the two-week wait that usually comes with engraving something.
The ice is deliberately oversized, which means a much lower surface area and a far slower melt. Your drink stays cold without turning watery five minutes in, which is the entire point of good ice.
The mould is flexible food-grade silicone, so the shapes pop out cleanly rather than cracking. There’s a “Cheers” shape included on the side as well when you fancy something different.
It’s simple to use as well — fill it, freeze it, flex the silicone and the letter pops straight out. There’s no running it under a tap or prising at it with a knife, which is where cheaper novelty moulds tend to fall apart.
Freeze juice, coffee or cocktail mixers in it and you get ice that adds to the drink as it melts rather than diluting it. Coffee cubes in an iced latte are a particularly good trick.
It’s ideal for anyone who takes their whiskey, gin or negroni seriously, and it’s one of those Kris Kringle picks where the reaction is an actual “oh that’s clever” rather than a polite nod.
