“We’ve got some big totals in some of the games, but to be bowling teams out in the space of 20 overs is very impressive. “It’s nice to see all the bowlers contributing as well, with every single bowler putting their hand up and doing a job.”.

Ice. Rocks. Diamonds. Snow Miser Testicles. Call frozen water by any other name, (we’re at least 75% sure no one has called it the third one) that beautiful bit of glass-like cold is one of the pillars of cocktail creation.

Try to not think of this guy next time you’re mixing it up.

However, much like anything else that quickly gains a following among the culinary élite, the question of quality comes down to not just the spirits, mixers, and ingredients, but ice as well.

Now, there’s a lot of truth to this seemingly douchey level of obsession with the ice in the drink. While it may seem incidental, consider this: the ice is hanging out in the drink the longest. Since the earliest days of the craft, mixologist have realized that the ice has a profound effect on the end taste of the drink. If the ice melts too fast when you want it to linger you end up with a watery cup of suck. If the ice melts too slow when you want it to melt quickly, your flavor is off-balance. You use city tap water without filtering it or boiling it, you’re gross. Seriously. Stop that shit.

In general, the longer the ice lingers, the better for your drink. It keeps the drink cool without watering it down, especially if you’re like us and you keep pushing for the relaxed sipping and not blind bro shooting.

We’ve played around with whiskey rocks before. And while they’re handy for taking a smidge of the edge off of a neat whiskey, there’s no way they would actually act as real, honest-to-god ice replacement. They just don’t get cold enough and/or hold that chill for nearly enough time.

Enter ice balls.

Not to be confused with Bruce Lee’s less-famous movie: Enter the Ice Ball

The big claim to fame with ice balls is that by offering a denser, larger area, it doesn’t melt nearly as quickly as a bunch of smaller cubes in the glass. There’s science that backs this up. (Side note: be sure to read that linked blog as the whole process, and the results, are pretty… cool… Sorry.)

While we’ve mixed with ice balls ourselves, we never really put them to test to see how effective they were in controlled settings. And by controlled settings, I mean the Cocktails, 365 test bar which includes a humidor packed with cigars and a BBQ grill. So, not exactly super controlled. But, over the past several months, we’ve run the Arctic Chill ice ball molds their paces. We’ve tried different filling levels, different types of water, etc.

As an added bonus, they almost always look like ice boobs. And, because we’re really all 12 year olds here at Cocktails, 365, that is freakin’ hilarious.

NSFW?

We wanted to test these molds under three criteria:

  • Durability of the molds
  • Consistency of the freeze
  • Efficacy/longevity of the ice ball

Because Arctic Chill was kind enough to send these to us to review, we didn’t feel too bad seeing what sort of abuse we could put them through in an effort simulate a real commercial bar setting.

Over the course of the past month we have: cleaned them by hand, ran them through the dishwasher, filled them until they were overflowing, filled them halfway, scrubbed them with vinegar and water, poured boiling water into them, took a wire brush to them, stretched them, left them out in the rain, and walked over them.

We've Got Big Balls Song Meaning

Those little bastards bounced back to their correct shape within five minutes every single time. While they are technically dishwasher safe, I found that a thorough scrubbing with a soft bristle brush and hot water with soap is the best. If you reuse these molds over and over you’ll start to notice a film forming inside the mold. This will then create nasty-ass floaties in the drink and it ruins the presentation. These floaties occurred no matter if we used filtered, bottled, distilled, spring, mineral, or even water straight out of the tap. These floaties don’t seem to change the flavor or consistency of the drink in any way, but they are unsightly. So, scrub those bitches down between each use to ensure you don’t have unpleasant (ice) ball dandruff.

Now on to usage tests.

Best Type of Water

Clockwise Starting at the upper left: Distilled water, filtered water, boiled water, mineral water

Mineral Water: Lots of cracks throughout the ball, I’m guessing because we froze it while the carbonation remained. Has a pleasant, distinct flavor from the mineral water. Excellent in scotch and whiskies, but not in other cocktails.

Filtered Water: This is your base-level water to use. It freezes well, creates an attractive, dense ice ball and doesn’t require a lot of extra work.

Boiled Water: No huge differences in the taste or freezing from the other waters. More than anything, just added another extra step to the whole process. May as well just go with filtered water.

Distilled Water: Fewer cracks than the others. It has a prettier, more clear look to it. It also has the smallest impact on the flavor of the drink. If you’ve got the dime and the time, filling these with distilled water is going to add just extra oomph.

Best Level to Fill

Here’s the trick – how do you pour enough water in to make sure the ball still looks good without cracks, but still getting an easy-to-open mold. We found that the best way to fill them is fill the mold until its overflowing and then pour just a little bit out. If you do this, then you’ll have a nice round ball (hehe) that’s easy to remove from the mold.

Removing from the Mold

We’d recommend letting the mold sit out for at least a minute before removing it. This lets it pull away from the mold a bit and makes digging it out a lot easier.

Storing the Ice Balls

We went ahead and froze about eight balls to store (two sets of the four) and placed them in our freezer. They held together great without sticking to anything in the freezer, so if you want to prepare quite a few before a big night, it would be a good idea.

Presentation

If want that really nice, shiny, clear look, run the ball under cold water to take off the jagged edges before placing in the glass.

Verdict

The Arctic Chill ice ball mold is actually pretty outstanding. Other than making sure you’re scrubbing them between uses, it’s reliable and makes consistent balls. They’re roughly $16 on Amazon, which pushes a bit more to the expensive end of the ice makers. With the ease of their use, we’ve actually started using the ice balls in all of our cocktails served over the rocks.

At last weekend's MTV Movie Awards, Zac Efronwent shirtless. And now, he's showing off his penis (sorta)!

Big

In a hilarious new video for Comedy Central's hit show Workaholics, Efron and his Neighbors costar Seth Rogen interview for a job with Adam (Adam DeVine), Blake (Blake Anderson) and Ders (Anders Holm).

Rogen tries to get an edge up on Efron by playing the diversity card, saying, 'I think if you add a Jewish person, you'd probably be more edgy because you'd have a minority in your group.'

Efron replies, 'Here's a bombshell: I'm Jewish.'

The Workaholics guys pressure Efron to show his penis to prove it and begin chanting hilariously, 'We've got to see that d--k. We've got to see that d--k.'

Efron stands up, unzips his pants, pulls out his manhood and says, 'There, see? Full circumcised.'

We've Got Big Ball

The four other guys gasp in amazement. 'Oh my god, it's amazing. It is f--king gorgeous,' Rogen says. 'Did Leonardo Di Vinci circumcise you? It's beautiful. Your balls have a six-pack! Put it away! Put it away, it's too nice!'

We've Got Big Balls Lyrics

'That was a great d--k! That was a great d--k!' Adam, Blake and Ders chant.

Rogen tries to out-do Efron by then showing his penis. Watch the funny video to see how everyone reacts!
