Men's Republic | Sports Ice Cube Trays - Set of 4 Silicone Ball Moulds

Nobody has ever picked up a glass, spotted a tiny footy floating in it, and not said something.

That's the whole appeal. Four flexible silicone trays, four different sports, and each tray makes four balls, so a full freeze gives you sixteen. Drop a soccer ball into a lemonade, a basketball into a bourbon, a footy into a beer at half time. It's a small thing that turns an ordinary drink into a talking point, and kids lose their minds over it.

The silicone is the practical bit. It flexes, so the balls pop out cleanly instead of requiring a chisel and bad language, and each tray has a lid so you can stack them in the freezer without everything tasting faintly of last night's dinner. Rinse them out, fill, freeze, done.

Because they're spheres rather than cubes, they melt slower than regular ice too. Less surface area, less dilution, so a drink stays cold longer without going watery halfway down. That's a genuine bonus rather than the point, but you'll notice it.

We stock this one because it's the rare gift that works for the whole household. Dad puts golf balls in his whisky, the kids want soccer balls in their cordial, and it comes out again every finals weekend, every barbecue, every long weekend in the caravan.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How many ice balls does the set make at once?
Sixteen. Each of the four trays holds four balls, so you can freeze the whole set at once or just the sport you feel like.

Do the balls come out easily?
Yes, that's the advantage of silicone over rigid plastic. Flex the tray gently from underneath and they release. If they're being stubborn, leave the tray out of the freezer for thirty seconds first.

Will they make my ice taste like the tray?
Silicone can pick up freezer smells if it's stored uncovered, which is why the lids matter. Wash before first use, keep the lids on, and you won't have a problem.

Can I use them for anything other than water?
Absolutely. Cordial, juice, coffee for iced coffee, or leftover wine for cooking. Frozen fruit purée works beautifully for kids' drinks.

How do these compare to whisky stones?
Different jobs. Whisky stones chill without adding any water at all, which is what you want for a neat spirit you're sipping slowly. These are proper ice, so they will dilute eventually, but they melt slower than cubes and they're a lot more fun in a mixed drink or a soft drink. If he drinks his whisky neat, go the stones. For everything else, go these.

Are they dishwasher safe?
We'd hand wash them. Warm soapy water and a rinse takes a moment and keeps the silicone in good shape.
