While it may not seem like a big deal, good ice can make or break a drink. Not all ice cube trays are crated equal. Many don't come with lids, which makes them prone to spilling and attracting odors—no one wants ice flavored like whatever food's stuck in the back of the freezer. We're also not big fans of struggling to get ice out of the tray, and some release cubes better than others.
Whether you like your ice small, large, or spherical, we've found the very best ice cube trays to level up your cocktails and other drinks. There are also plenty of clever ways to put your ice cube trays to use, including Bloody Mary ice cubes, coffee cubes, and Prosecco cubes.
