Clear Ice Ball Maker Mold 2.4 in - Large Crystal Ice Sphere

Our review of the Berlinzo clear ice ball maker finds it best suited for home bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts who want a dramatic, slow-melting ice sphere without buying an electronic machine. The 2.4 in extra-large spheres deliver striking, near-crystal clarity and chill drinks evenly, so the single biggest reason to buy is the visual and functional upgrade to whisky, bourbon, or stirred cocktails-large, clear spheres that melt slowly and preserve flavor. The non-electric silicone design and included storage bag make it an accessible addition to a home bar.

Key Features

• Perfect clarity: The mold is engineered to reduce impurities and air bubbles so finished spheres appear clear and enhance drink presentation.
• 2.4 in large spheres: Extra-large ice balls provide slower melting and more even chilling for spirits, cocktails, cold coffee, and mocktails.
• BPA-free silicone: Food-grade, flexible silicone lets users release spheres more easily and keeps the ice odorless and taste-free.
• Non-electric design: No machine or power required, so it is simple to use and portable for home bars or small gatherings.
• Storage bag included: The set includes a bag to store extra spheres so you can prepare ice ahead for parties or multiple drinks.

Who It's For

The mold is ideal for cocktail hobbyists, whisky drinkers, and anyone who values presentation: those who enjoy Old Fashioneds, neat pours, or craft cocktails will appreciate how the large clear spheres slow dilution and look like crystal glass in a lowball. It also suits people who prefer a low-cost, low-tech solution to clear ice without buying an ice press or electric clear-ice maker.

It is less appropriate for users who need many spheres quickly for large events or commercial use, as the non-electric mold makes a few spheres per batch and requires freezer space and time. Buyers should also check freezer clearance to ensure the 2.4 in molds fit comfortably.

Pros & Cons

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the spheres melt slower than regular ice?
The 2.4 in large spheres have a smaller surface area relative to volume, so they melt noticeably slower and reduce dilution.

Is the mold hard to remove from the freezer once frozen?
The flexible BPA-free silicone helps release spheres, though some users find removal easier after the first few uses and with slightly warmed hands.

Does this require electricity or special equipment?
No, the mold is non-electric and designed to produce clear spheres without an ice press or machine; just use your freezer and the included storage bag.
