Ice cube tray Lekue XL Sphere Turquoise — Lekue XL spherical ice mold, turquoise

Lekue XL Sphere Turquoise is an XL spherical ice mold that creates large, uniform ice spheres for cocktails, spirits and cold beverages. The mold is finished in turquoise and designed to produce slow-melting, visually appealing ice that helps keep drinks colder longer with reduced dilution. Its size and shape are suitable for home bars, restaurants and professional use where a single large sphere is preferred over multiple small cubes.

Advantages

The Lekue XL Sphere Turquoise simplifies the process of making large round ice: easy-to-fill cavities and a flexible construction allow reliable demolding without cracking. Large spheres have a smaller surface-area-to-volume ratio, which slows melting and minimizes dilution of drinks. The turquoise finish makes the mold easy to locate in a freezer and adds a distinct color to storage. The tray is compatible with standard freezer temperatures and is designed for repeated household or light-professional use.

Suitable for

• Preparing single-serve cocktails and highball drinks where slow dilution is desired
• Serving whiskey, bourbon or aged spirits on the rocks
• Chilling pitchers or large tumblers without rapid melting
• Home bartending, professional bars, restaurants and events

Key specifications

• Shape: Spherical (XL)
• Color/finish: Turquoise
• Capacity per cavity: designed for one large sphere each (XL size)
• Material characteristics: flexible mold material for easy release
• Intended use: freezer-safe for producing large ice spheres for beverages

How to use

Fill the mold cavities with water up to the indicated fill line, taking care to avoid overfilling. Place the filled tray on a level surface in the freezer and allow sufficient time for the water to freeze completely. To release the spheres, remove the tray from the freezer and flex the mold gently to loosen the ice; if needed, briefly run cold water on the exterior to aid release. Handle the finished ice spheres with clean tongs or a scoop to keep them clear and hygienic before placing into glassware.

Usage recommendations

For clearer spheres, use boiled and cooled or filtered water and allow slower freezing where possible. Store ice spheres in a covered container in the freezer to reduce odor absorption and prevent surface frost. Clean the mold after use with warm water and mild detergent, dry thoroughly before storage, and avoid sharp implements that could damage the flexible material.
