These fruity and floral ice shot glasses are a perfectly charming addition to any party and create an easy and entertaining treat for your guests!

Here’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 for even the smallest group!

Here’s how to make charming ice shot glasses! We used this mold (which 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 in some festive food items around the mold.

Cheers and stay charming!!

How To Make Ice Shots & Apple Cider – Step by Step

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, which 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!

Beautiful and Easy To Make Shot Glasses

I can’t stress how easy these are to make! Using your shot mold you can place in whatever kinds of items you want (keep them edible though). These are great for summer or winter parties and will add such a lovely touch to any festivities. Who said having a shot couldn’t be (a bit) classy – ha!

Top Tips For Making These Ice Shots and Apple Cider

  • Use a shot mold, it’ll be worth it!
  • Get creative with your decorations!
  • Use your favorite bourbon for the apple cider.
  • Serve up your shot glasses straight from the freezer, before they melt.

    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.
