Troubleshooting & FAQs

Common Ice Issues

You might run into a few bumps when making crystal-clear ice. Don’t worry—these fixes help you get perfect results every time.

Tip: If your ice still looks cloudy, try boiling your water first. This removes extra air.

Keeping Ingredients Suspended

You want your fruits, herbs, or flowers to float in the middle of your ice globe. Sometimes, they sink or float to the top. Here’s why that happens:

• Ice turns cloudy when air and impurities get trapped during fast freezing.

• Clear ice forms when you freeze water slowly from one direction.

• Air bubbles make ice look white or milky.

To keep ingredients in place, freeze your mold halfway, add your fruit or flower, then fill the rest with water. This trick helps your snow globe look perfect.

Party Prep Tips

You want your party to run smoothly. Try these easy tips:

• Chill your glasses before guests arrive. Cold glasses keep drinks fresh.

• Prepare garnishes ahead of time. Put them on small sticks or dowels for easy serving.

• Set up a DIY drink station. Let guests pick their own botanicals or syrups. Everyone gets a custom drink.
