CHARMING ICE SHOT GLASSES

CHARMING ICE SHOT GLASSES

Winter Ice Shot Glasses

Here’s how to make charming ice shot glasses! 

Fill up ice shot molds halfway with water.

Add some festive food items around the mold. Some cinnamon sticks, thinly sliced apples, some greens and pomegranates. More is more with these so don’t be afraid to add a lot of fun garnishes to your frozen shot glass!

After the garnishes are added, top off the mold with more water to complete your creation and wait 24 hours for it to freeze in the freezer.

These glasses melt fast and are meant to be served up right away! I would suggest pulling your ice shots from the mold and setting them on a tray in the freezer hours before you even serve them. That way you can pull them out straight from the freezer, pour your shot in and serve right away!
