Nowadays, ice regularly ends up in a
lot of drinks.
Does the mere thought of drinks with
ice in them make you uncomfortable? Are your drinks always warm and lacking
ice? If so, it's time you gave some serious consideration to your knowledge of
ice cube shapes.
Learning about ice cube shapes can
be the secret to cold drinks that go down easy. Here's what you need to know to
make sure your drinks are always cooling.
Regular
Cube
The regular cube is the most common
type of ice cube. It's versatile and perfect for any situation. Whether you're
making a cocktail or just want to keep your drink cold, the regular cube is the
way to go.
Tube
Ice
Tube ice is a type of ice that is
long and cylindrical. It is often used in cocktails and is also popular in
Asian cuisine.
You can make this type of ice by
freezing water in a tube-shaped mold. The result is a long, slender tube of ice
that is perfect for sipping drinks or for use in stir-fries.
Crescent
Ice
Crescent ice is a type of ice shaped
like a crescent moon. This type of ice is great for cocktails and other drinks
because it helps to keep the drink cold and refreshing. Crescent ice is also
great for making ice cream and other frozen desserts.
Crushed
Ice
Crushed ice is a versatile ice cube
shape that you can use for a variety of purposes. You can use it to cool
drinks, as a decoration, or even as a makeshift ice pack.
Crushed ice is also relatively easy
to make at home. All you need is a blender or food
processor and some ice cubes.
Nugget
Ice
There are many different types of
ice cube shapes, but nugget ice is by far the coolest. Nugget ice is small,
bite-sized pieces of ice that are perfect for snacking on or adding to a
beverage. They are also great for making ice cream or popsicles.
Block
Ice
The large surface area of block ice
makes it perfect for cooling down a drink quickly. It also has a long shelf
life, so you can make a batch of ice cubes and store them for later use.
Block ice is also great for keeping
food cold. When properly wrapped, it will keep food fresh for days.
Spheres
Spheres are the simplest ice cube
shape and also the most popular. They’re easy to make and release ice quickly,
which is why they’re often used in cocktails.
They have a large surface area to
volume ratio, so they melt slowly and keep your drink cold. Spherical ice cubes
are easy to make at home with ice cube trays. If you want a truly unique ice
cube, there are square or hexagonal molds you can find here.
