The Best Ice Cubes Trays To Get Your Party Swinging

I like to make novelty ice cubes for my parties, I think that the comments they receive when floating in someone's drink just helps to get the conversation started and flowing, and if you can find an ice cube that fits in with the theme of your party then that's even better!

Novelty ice cubes are such fun and can be, if you excuse the pun, a great ‘ice-breaker’ helping to get the party conversation flowing and setting a light hearted mood.

Simply fill the novelty Ice Cubes Trays with water or even juice for something a little more colourful and interesting.

My guests certainly seem to appreciate a little novelty which makes their drinks a lot more fun, and from guitars to dinosaurs there is almost certainly an ice cube tray for any themed party.

So, on this page I will show you a few of those fun, novelty ice cube trays for you and your guests to enjoy.

Take a tall glass and fill it with ice, (the icebergs and listing ocean liners from the Gin and Tironic ice cube set work well), add 1 part gin to three parts tonic water, add a wedge of lemon or lime and mix well. Sit back, relax, sip your drink and enjoy!

A must have for those guitar lovers or those who like to host parties!

When you think of parties you think of fun, music and drinks. And these cool ice cube trays are just the thing to make your drinks sing! The guitars are great, they use a cocktail stirrer for the neck of the guitar to complete the look.

There are 3 guitars to a pack so you may want to buy additional sets if you need a quantity of the guitar ice cubes for a party.

Imagine a James Bond, or Mobster themed party or even a Murder Mystery party.

These great gun and bullet novelty ice cube trays are just the thing to get the conversation flowing and set the tone of the party.

The detail on the guns is very good and you wont be disappointed in them.

One thing to note with silicon ice cube trays is that they are flexible and you may find it easier to place the tray on a plate before putting in the freezer to prevent spillages.

Use different colored juices for great effects for your Halloween ice cubes.

The pumpkins look great made up in orange juice.

Or, for the extra wow factor go for the lighted pumpkins. 

You can freeze them and use them in drinks or even use them as a Halloween decoration. They are completely safe and non toxic, and can be used in flashing mode or with a steady light.

Little girls especially will love the Ice Princess star shaped ice cube wand and stars and Ice Palace Ice Cube Trays, and, the Mickey Mouse design goes down well with everybody!

And for the bigger 'kids' who are old enough to remeber, the space invaders ice cube tray will bring memories of past childhoods flooding back!

Personally I like the rubber ducky ice cube tray, I think the ice cubes would look great made up in orange or lemon juice.

I have shown you some of the best novelty ice cubes trays available, but, in addition you can also try chopping into chunks an orange, lemon and a lime (leaving the skins on), place them on a tray and freeze for 4 to 5 hours.

The citrus 'ice cubes' add another dimension to your drink, they provide a hint of fresh sharpness, look good and work well with, or, in place of your chosen ice cubes to chill your drinks.
