Outset Hexagon Ice Cube Tray

Your drink doesn’t need a geometry lesson, but six-sided ice is a nice alternative to the usual little blocks. The Outset Hexagon Ice Cube Tray makes large hexagonal cubes in an ice-blue silicone mold. It suits the home cocktail maker who enjoys the small details, including what ends up clinking around in the glass.

The useful part is the material, not just the honeycomb look. Food-safe silicone flexes to help release the ice, and the tray is safe for the freezer, dishwasher, and oven. It measures 7.75 x 4.25 x 1.25 inches, so you have actual dimensions to check against your freezer space before adding another tray to the collection.

Most people give this as a small gift to a friend who already has the drinks handled. It doesn’t make a cocktail more accomplished; it gives their usual pour a playful finishing touch. Ordinary tap water gets the same six-sided treatment, too.
