Clear ice balls enhance many of your signature cocktails. First, the quick chill and slow melt of ice balls from Spirit Ice Vice keep your drinks cold without diluting as fast as ordinary ice. Secondly, clear ice balls add an upscale feel to your drinks. Perfectly clear ice makes the colors of your cocktails stand out for greater eye appeal and overall presentation. Spirits On Ice and the Spirit Ice Vice team discuss common cocktails made with clear ice balls.
Negroni
Negroni is one of the simplest cocktails to make, and its deep red color really pops with clear glass and a clear ice ball. Mix two ounces each of gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari liqueur. The Campari is a dark red color with a fruity and herbal flavor. The flavor of the liqueur balances the sweet vermouth. Feel free to garnish this drink with a slice of orange on the rim. An ice ball from Spirit Ice Vice keeps this drink cold and refreshing.

Whiskey Sour
A whiskey sour is a reliable, popular drink. A perfectly round and clear ice ball keeps the drink cold so you can enjoy every sip slowly. Blend two ounces whiskey, one ounce lemon juice, and one teaspoon sugar before pouring over the ice ball from Spirit Ice Vice.

Paloma
When you enjoy a Paloma, you get a favorite drink of bartenders in Mexican resorts. Mix two ounces of tequila, a ½ ounce of lime juice, and top with grapefruit soda. Serve with ice and a salt-rimmed glass. You get a bubbly, cold, pink cocktail thanks in part to a clear ice ball and Spirit Ice Vice.
Vieux Carré
Drink a classic Manhattan-style cocktail perfected in New Orleans’ French Quarter when you enjoy a Vieux Carré. Blend upscale brandy, American whiskey, and sweet vermouth along with Bénédictine, Angostura, and Peychauds bitters. This drink balances sweet and bitter flavors with two classic spirits. A clear ice ball lets you sip the distinct flavors for a while as you gaze into the deep amber color. Spirit Ice Vice enhances the drink with a quick chill and slow melt.
