Creating cocktails is one of my favorite creative moments. It’s the joy of creating a recipe and something that tastes delicious but you feel way cooler and you get to drink. =)
I was crafting up a cocktail for St. Patty’s Day (soon to come) and thought it really needed a special touch. I already came up with all green and gold but the Leprechaun’s gotta be after this cocktail for a reason…oh yeah…DIAMONDS. Rather than normal ice cubes, I decided to use my diamond ice cube mold
So here’s the kicker… ice takes a good minute to start melting… simply syrup ice takes about .4 seconds. Trying to take photos was like someone playing a trick on me. I placed down the diamonds, turned around and grabbed my camera, turned back and check out how much they’d already melted!! I definitely plan to make them again, with less sugar and a longer boiling time before cooling and molding. I definitely think they would hold longer and I’ll be sure to update when I give it a try. They may be quick melters but they sure are pretty. These DIY Mint Simple Syrup Diamond Ice Cubes will leave your guests in aww and your cocktails at high class standards.
You have a favorite ice cube creation?
