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.
Why a sphere? A sphere minimizes surface area and therefore minimizes the amount of melting going on.
This equals cold booze that isn’t watered down. A must have for any upscale cocktail lounge.
