Pin ItHere’s another easy and fun, entertaining idea for you all! Since our floral ice buckets were so popular, we thought it would be “cool” (pun intended!) to make a mini version of ice shot glasses!! I can’t stress enough how easy these are to make!
They add such a charming touch when entertaining even the smallest group!
Here’s how to make charming ice shot glasses! We used this mold (which is also perfect for chocolates and candy, too!) and first filled it up halfway with water. Then, since it’s fall and we made an apple cider shot to go in it, we added some festive food items around the mold.
How To Make Ice Shot Glasses
Pour water into the shot molds
Add the decoration of cinnamon, pomegranate, thinly sliced apple
Place in freezer for 4 hours (or as long as it takes to freeze)
Apple cider shot
In a cocktail shaker, we added 4 ounces of bourbon and 4 ounces of pressed apple cider, some cinnamon, and a tablespoon of orange liqueur.
Decorating Your Ice Shots
Things like cinnamon sticks, thinly sliced apples, some greens, and pomegranates all created nice, warm colors. More is more with these, so don’t be afraid to add a lot of fun garnishes to your frozen shot glass!
After the garnishes are added, top off the mold with more water to complete your creation and wait 24 hours for it to freeze in the freezer.
A Delicious Apple Cider!
For the delicious apple cider shot, in a cocktail shaker, we added 4 ounces of bourbon and 4 ounces of pressed apple cider, some cinnamon, and a tablespoon of orange liqueur.
These apple cider shots are strong but so good!
Storing Your Ice Shots
For the glasses, these babies melt fast and are meant to be served up right away! I would suggest pulling your ice shots from the mold and setting them on a tray in the freezer hours before you even serve them.
That way, you can pull them out straight from the freezer, pour your shot in and serve right away!
I can’t stress how easy these are to make! Using your shot mold, you can place it in whatever kinds of items you want (keep them edible, though). These are great for summer or winter parties and add a lovely touch to any festivities. Who said having a shot couldn’t be (a bit) classy – ha!
Tips For Making These Ice Shots and Apple Cider
- Use a shot mold, and it’ll be worth it!
- Get creative with your decorations!
- Use your favorite bourbon for the apple cider.

These ice shot glasses are gorgeous! I’m wondering what type of water you used. Tap? Filtered? We have hard water and my ice cubes never look pretty.
Hi! We use tap water to make them.
These are absolutely fabulous! Thanks for a great recipe!
These are perfect! Love the idea of turning the popular ice bucket into tiny shot glasses.
Thank you Daria!! They turned out pretty cute and so much fun to use!!
