“Bone Chillers” Halloween Ice Tray

Monday, October 20th, 2008

bonechillers Turn your ice bucket into a chilling collection bones with the Fred Bone Chillers silicone ice tray.

Your Halloween cocktails and punches will be all the more frightening with frozen skulls and crossbones.  (Try using these bone cubes in a dark drink, like Black Punch, for maximum contrast.)
I’ve seen these a few places online and in person, but so far it looks like Sur La Table has the lowest price.

Top Shelf Ice for Top Shelf Booze

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

$1300 Ice Mold Not happy with the old ice tray? Ice melts too quickly and dilutes your drink?

Never fear, the Taisan Ice Mold makes 30 - 40 Spherical ice balls each hour.

Why a sphere? A sphere minimizes surface area and therefore minimizes the amount of melting going on.

This equals cold booze that isn’t watered down. A must have for any upscale cocktail lounge.

Monday, March 17th, 2008


Just for St. Patrick’s Day, Crunchgear reviewed this Key Chain Breathalizer that can be had for under $5 bucks. It even comes with a flashlight and stopwatch! Doug tested it and it works, even beat the penny trick. Still, he felt it is more of a toy, but for $5 who cares.

From the pictures it looks great and serves bar quality drafts. Still at $300, bottles may work just as well for your next party.
