How to Use Shooter Ice Molds for Party Ice Shots

Quick answer

To make ice shots, fill the Shooter Ice Molds with water or another liquid on the storage tray, freeze until solid, then flex the silicone to release each ice shot glass. Serve them on the shooter base so hands stay warm and the glasses stay steady.

Step-by-step: making ice shots with Shooter Ice Molds

1. Set up the molds on the storage tray: Place the silicone molds on the storage tray before filling. The tray catches drips and keeps the molds level in the freezer. A level mold prevents uneven ice walls that can crack when you release the shot glass.
2. Fill with your chosen liquid: Pour water, juice, or another freezable liquid into each mold, leaving a small gap at the top for expansion. Do not overfill. Overfilling causes ice to dome over the rim, which makes the shot glass unstable on the base.
3. Freeze until completely solid: Transfer the tray to the freezer and leave it undisturbed until the liquid is frozen through, typically several hours or overnight. A partially frozen shot glass will collapse when you try to release it.
4. Release the ice shot glasses: Remove one mold from the tray. Press upward on the bottom of the silicone while peeling the sides away from the ice. Work slowly. If the ice resists, wait 30–60 seconds and try again; forcing it can crack the glass.
5. Place on the shooter base and serve: Set each released ice shot glass on the shooter base, then pour your shooter or drink into the ice glass just before serving. The base keeps hands from getting cold and stops the ice from tipping over.
