8 Ways to Try Fancy Ice, TikTok's Favorite Drink Enhancer

Rather than slicing a cucumber every time you want cucumber water, you can make a batch of ice with it — or any of your favorite fruits and veggies, like this TikTok shows. If you have produce that's about to go bad, this is a great way to use it up and have flavored water any time you wish! Even leafy greens like spinach can be blended with milk or water, then poured into ice trays for future use in smoothies.

Try it: Large Square Ice Cube Mold, 2 Pack ($17, originally $20): Large squares are a great way to combine multiple flavors or fit full slices of lemons, cucumbers, strawberries, and more.

Make flavored water easily and in batches by adding citrus, herbs, or other flavors to your ice, like these rose and mint ice cubes courtesy of @themindfulmocktail. This is also an easy way to make a mocktail recipe feel special, even without the alcohol.

Try it: This Rose Mold Silicone Ice Mold ($10) is popular among TikTok users because it's so easy to fill and still get perfect spheres. Plus, it comes with a storage tray!

Make girls' night extra special with custom rose-shaped ice cubes for your cocktails, as TikToker @hazelwoodx demonstrates here. Or, make classic favorites more colorful by creating ice using a pigmented tea or juice, for example.

Try it: TikTokers love their rose-shaped ice, and who wouldn't? This Rose Flower Silicone Ice Mold ($10) makes gorgeous ice and is a steal for just $10. Pro tip: one of these rose ice cubes makes a great addition to a hot-pink Barbie cocktail.

Add edible glitter to your ice cubes, as shown by TikToker @_camilladalgaard, to take any drink to the next level.

Try it: Buy this Aheroi Edible Glitter Set ($17) set of 15 edible glitter colors for your next get-together or party, and your hostess skills will be the talk of the group chat.

Imagine an iced coffee that never gets watered down. Coffee ice cubes are the perfect way to keep the flavor of your favorite iced latte going strong. You can also do this with coffee creamer or your milk of choice.

Try it: If you want smaller, easier-to-stir spheres, try this three-pack of WIBIMEN Mini Ice Cube Trays ($10, originally $13).

Chopping up fruit adds extra flavor to drinks like strawberry lemonade, as @kaelimaee shows here — and when they're butterflies, the cuteness goes off the charts.

Try it: Butterfly Mold Silicone Ice Cube Tray ($12): How pretty are these frozen butterflies? As they're smaller, they melt more quickly, so they're perfect for adding flavor to coffee, cocktails, and more.

Flower Shape Ice Cube Tray ($9, originally $10): Not into butterflies? This multipack features stars, hearts, flowers, and more.

Not a coffee person? No problem: try matcha ice cubes or chai sugar cubes, which allow you to cool down an iced tea without watering it down.

Try it: Silicone Mini Ice Cube Trays, 2 Pack ($6, originally $8): These are also a favorite among TikTokers, as you get a lot of small ice cubes that look pretty and melt quickly. Plus, there are no gaps in between the squares, so they're super easy to fill.

Few recipes ever use the entire carton of broth. Instead of dumping it down the drain, freeze it for later use — with extra ingredients like fresh herbs or spices, if you want. Freezing plain broth is also a sweet way to make pet treats for hot summers!

Try it: Doqaus Ice Cube Trays 4 Pack, Easy-Release Silicone & Flexible ($9, originally $10): These trays make ice cubes of the classic shape, but the flexible silicone spine means they're way easier to pop out than with the old tray you already have.
