Happy Monday everyone!  

I was contacted again by Arctic Chill to review another one of their items.  Back in November I reviewed their Stainless Steel Muddler which I used to make my very first Mojito.

In the mail I received a free box of 4 BPA free Silicone Ice Ball Makers.  They sent me this for free so that I would give an honest review on this item.  All views are my own.  I was not compensated for them in any way.   

They all looked like this one:

I filled them all up with water and found out that you are not supposed to fill them up completely to the top.  

Once filled completely, I poured out a little bit of water so that during the freezing process the water wouldn't come out of the hole on the top and spill onto the drawer they were sitting on.  

I still haven't perfected that yet, but either way it's not a big deal if they do spill out.  Ice is easy to pick up and toss into the sink.

Here is what one of my ice balls looked like:

Some of them had cracks in them, some did not.  

The ones that did have cracks were absolutely fine to use.  

The cracks did not go all the way through the ice balls so they did not crumble when I removed them from their mold.  

The ice balls are pretty easy to remove from their molds.  You can basically peel back the sides a little and the ice ball will come out.  Only 1 time out of 8 did I need to run warm water over the outside of the mold for 2 seconds to release the ice ball.  

Here is a photo of the mold after I removed one of the ice balls from it:

All in all, I think these molds are great.  

Last weekend I hosted a small brunch and made a punch in a punch bowl.  

I used 4 of these ice balls to chill my punch and they worked perfect.   

They took their time melting which was nice because I didn't want my punch watered down.  These Arctic Chill Ice Ball Makers ** would make a great gift ** for that person who has everything, or even for that person who doesn't.

Thank you again Rizzi for sending me another great product!

Cheers!

Arctic Chill Muddler

I was contacted by Arctic Chill and asked if I would like to review their Arctic Chill Muddler **.  They sent me this for free so that I would give an honest review on this item.  All views are my own.  I was not compensated for them in any way.


I own a wooden muddler (haven't used it yet) and never thought of a muddler being anything but wood, let alone stainless steel with a nylon head.  


When I received the initial email and it said "It's way better than your traditional wooden muddler as these can often start to degrade and leave residue in your cocktails" I thought, EEEWWWW!  


It had never crossed my mind that a wooden muddler could/would do that over time.....but of course it could and that does NOT sound appealing at all.

I recently used this muddler to make my mojito and I must say that the smooth stainless steel grip on this muddler is nice.  


It has a nice sleek design and I like that the nylon head is not smooth like my wooden muddler, but is grooved which helps in breaking apart the leaves or fruit you are trying to muddle.  

Here is a close up of what the Arctic Chill ** muddler looks like:

If you are in the market for a muddler, I would say that this is a good muddler to purchase.  Did I mention that it comes with a lifetime guarantee?

Thank You Rizzi for sending me this amazing muddler!!

I think this would be a great gift ** idea for a cocktail enthusiast on your holiday list!

Cheers!
