(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, March 02, 2015 ) Beaverton, Oregon -- In recent years, the concept of ‘Craft' Gin has become increasingly popular, not in only one particular region of the globe, but the entire world seems to love the idea of gin crafted meticulously by distillers in small batches, often putting their own unique signature taste or style to the drink. Bars that specialize in Craft Gins have been popping up from Las Vegas, to London and Hong Kong attracting more and more gin enthusiasts wanting to get a taste of the latest recipe.
One thing most bars around the world serving these craft gins have in common is the use of larger ice spheres to cool down the drink for a longer time. The ice spheres are said to be superior to traditional ice cubes or crushed ice because they melt more slowly therefore less dilution of the beverage occurs, preserving the flavor integrity of the premium bespoke craft gin.
"Larger ice spheres such as the ones our Sphericool Ice Ball Maker creates, melt comparatively slower than traditional ice cubes, this helps in preserving the subtle flavors of spirits, cocktails and coffee. Ice balls are a superior alternative to regular ice cubes" explains Sarah Smith, Marketing Director for Vida Viva Home of their flagship product.
Ice spheres such as the ones that can be created using flexible silicone molds, like the Sphericool Ice Ball Maker, add more than just a visual flair to the drinks. The slow melting claim has much to do with the ratio of surface area to volume, the spherical shape has less surface area exposed to the beverage which allows it to melt more slowly and the drink remains less diluted compared to drinks with traditional rectangular shaped cubes.
People entertaining at home can now duplicate the experience of these high end craft gin bars, by using inexpensive ice sphere molds for their next tipple. Vida Viva Home's flagship product, the Sphericool Ice Ball Maker, has been fashioned out of flexible FDA-approved and certified BPA-free silicone. Each Ice Ball Maker has four-ball molds which are easy to fill to create flawless 4.5cm diameter globes.
