Martini Ice Liner

Some cocktails are meant to be cold, and some cocktails are meant to be ice cold. Martinis are one of those drinks where colder is often better and martini-lovers are constantly coming up with new ways to keep their cocktails icy. Most enthusiasts I know keep all their martini ingredients (except olives, if they use them) in the freezer, including both their spirits and their glassware. This isn’t a bad practice, but it means you need to give up a good chunk of freezer space. With a gadget like the Martini Ice Liner, you don’t need to store multiple bottles in your freezer. This is actually a kit that includes two martini glasses and two silicone liners. The liners sit right inside the glass, allowing a perfectly even lining of ice to form. When you pop out the liner, your glass is ready to use, whether your spirits are pre-chilled or not. If you want to mix things up, you can make your ice liner out of different liquids – mint-infused water for a refreshing cocktail, olive juice for a dirty martini, or cranberry juice for a cosmo – and get creative with your refreshments.
