2-Inch Silicone Ice Ball Mold with Lid — Makes Two Round Spheres
Product description
Creates two large 2-inch spherical ice pieces designed to melt more slowly than typical cubes, helping drinks like whiskey, bourbon, old fashioneds and cocktails remain colder with less dilution.
The set includes a two-cavity silicone mold with a matching top that fits over the openings to reduce splashes and make filling the cavities cleaner and easier while in the freezer.
Constructed from flexible, food-grade silicone to allow straightforward release of frozen spheres without excessive force or twisting; the soft walls let you pop the ice out intact with minimal effort.
This mold is intended for repeat use and is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. It's suitable for home bars, casual entertaining, or everyday beverages including iced coffee and mixed drinks when you want a neater presentation.
Because each sphere measures about two inches, they provide slower dilution than small cubes but are not the oversized balls that nearly fill a glass; they work well as one centerpiece in a short glass or two in taller tumblers.
Pros
- Produces slow-melting 2-inch spheres
- Lid reduces spills while filling
- Flexible silicone for easy removal
Cons
- Spheres are modest, not oversized
- Patterned surface may show texture
- Takes practice to avoid air bubbles
VerdictA straightforward, reusable silicone mold that forms two 2-inch spheres ideal for slowing melt in spirits and mixed drinks. The lid helps contain water for neater filling and the soft silicone makes removal simple. Expect a small learning curve to avoid bubbles and minor surface imperfections; spheres are smaller than some large, showpiece ice balls.

Works well after a few tries
I had to practice filling to get cleaner spheres — the mold's internal pattern gives a textured look I didn't love. My first attempts trapped air and left a flat spot, but the silicone allowed easy removal without aggressive twisting. The balls are on the smaller side: one suits a short glass and two fit a tall tumbler. I likely won't repurchase because I prefer larger, sleeker ice.
