It is illegal to distill spirits in the US with out a commercial license. So we don’t recommend trying this at home. Still, how cool would it be to make your own vodka, whiskey or just about anything you can think of right in your own backyard. Way more impressive that your homebrewing neighbor? So 1990s. A boy can dream.
Anyway, if you do live someplace where it is legal or have a license, Instructables … Read more

Not happy with the old ice tray? Ice melts too quickly and dilutes your drink?
Never fear, the Taisan Ice Mold makes 30 – 40 Spherical ice balls each hour.
