Below is a list of 7 creatively Infused Ice Cubes that are sure to impress guests all summer long:

Floral Ice Cubes

Adding small, edible flowers to ice cubes create a feminine and colorful aesthetic, perfect for a ladies lunch or tea party. To create this delicate, yet vibrant presentation, simply fill an ice cube tray with water, as usual, and insert your flowers of choice. You can include your favorite flower uniformly, or create a beautiful assortment of diverse flowers. Freeze regularly and uncover your beautiful floral creations.

Citrus Ice Cubes

Citrus flavors pair great with water, and Citrus Infused Ice Cubes are so simple to make. Thinly slice lemons, limes, and oranges and place neatly in an ice cube tray, filled with water. Once frozen, pop the ice cubes out of the tray and place them in a tall glass of water to enjoy.

Coffee Ice Cubes

Iced coffee can be energizing on a hot summer day, but when the ice begins to melt, your caffeinated refreshment can become a watered-down brew. Making Coffee Ice Cubes is foolproof, as you pour warm coffee directly into an ice cube tray and place in the freezer. Once frozen, insert your ingeniously caffeinated ice cubes into your drink of choice.
