How to make Crystal Clear Ice Cubes for Perfect Cocktails

Use a directional freezing ice tray—these trays freeze from the bottom up, letting air and impurities escape. Just fill with tap or filtered water, freeze for 4 hours, and pop out your clear cubes. Try double boiling: Boil water, let it cool, then boil again. Fill your tray with the cooled water and freeze. This doesn’t get you perfectly clear ice, but it’s a big upgrade from regular cubes. If you’ve got freezer space, fill a small, clean cooler with water and freeze it uncovered. After 24 hours, cut out the clear top layer and chop it into cubes. The bottom will be cloudy, but the top is what you want for your drinks. Clear ice really does make cocktails taste and look better—worth the extra effort! #ClearIce #CocktailTips #HomeBar #Food #Cooking
