Klaris Aluminum Ice Ball Press Kit for Whiskey & Cocktails, 1.9-Inch

The Klaris Aluminum Ice Ball Press Kit turns square ice cubes into 1.9-inch (48mm) round spheres for single-pour spirits and cocktails. Designed for home bar setups, this tool gives whiskey and cocktail drinkers a way to craft slow-melting spheres that chill drinks without rapid dilution.

Operation is straightforward and completely non-electric. You place a 2-inch Klaris ice cube diagonally onto the base and set the top in place. The natural thermal conductivity and weight of the aluminum melt the cube into shape in just two to three minutes. Beyond basic round shaping, the press imprints intricate patterns directly onto the ice surface to give your finished drink an extra visual touch.

The kit comes equipped with the necessary accessories for smooth prep, including a bar mat and ice tongs. In between uses, resetting the press takes a simple 15-to-30-second rinse under warm water. When you are done for the day, the aluminum components require gentle hand washing.

Keep in mind that this unit is designed specifically to work with 2-inch Klaris ice cubes, but the Klaris Ice Maker itself is not included. You will also need to pick up separate 2-inch storage containers if you want to store a batch of spheres in the freezer ahead of time.

Verdict: The Klaris Ice Ball Press Kit is a great addition for cocktail enthusiasts who want decorative, slow-melting craft ice at home. If you already have 2-inch ice ready to press, it offers a quick and powerless way to shape bar-quality spheres.
