Bartenders recommend that using clear ice can significantly enhance your cocktails, both aesthetically and taste-wise. Here’s a simple guide on how to make clear ice at home.

Ingredients

• 36 oz. spring water
• 1 Dexas ice cube tray

Directions

1. Fill a directional freezing ice cube tray with spring water, following the mold’s instructions.
2. Place the tray in your freezer and let it sit overnight.
3. Before serving, remove the tray about 10 minutes in advance to allow the ice cubes to rest either in the molds or on a plate. This resting period is crucial as it prevents the ice cubes from cracking when liquid is poured over them.
4. You can also let the ice cubes rest directly in the serving glass before adding your drink. Keep in mind that any melting ice will dilute the drink slightly, but it won’t affect the flavor negatively.
5. Serve and enjoy responsibly!

By following these steps, you’ll be able to craft cocktails with professional flair right from your home.
