LDV’s Ice Cubes For A Merry Christmas

According to Statista, 16% of Brits intended to have a spirit & mixer on Christmas in 2022. While we agree there’s no better way to kickstart the holiday celebrations than with a Christmas Martini, we want every drink you whip up to have that festive feel and our ice cubes can do exactly that. They are super easy to make and can be customised to pair well with cocktails, ice coffee or even water.

Ingredients:

• Water
• Cranberries, oranges, rosemary or mint
• Ice cube tray

Step 1 In a clean ice cube tray, place the fruit or herb of your choice into each of the slots. You can also mix ingredients to create different flavour combinations.

Step 2 Fill the slots with water. Alternatively, you can use juice, coffee or liquor if you don’t want the ice to dilute your drink.

Step 3 Put the tray into the freezer for a few hours or overnight.

All that’s left to do is pop a few ice cubes into your drink and enjoy! We personally recommend combining mint and cranberries to create mini mistletoes in the ice cubes. Alternatively, rosemary looks very similar to pine needles and could really add some holiday cheer to your drink.
