Lemon slice ice balls...with the original whiskey ball

I just love these giant round ice moulds from The Original Whiskey Ball, and they aren't just for whiskey lovers. They are just gorgeous in your favourite non-alcoholic cocktail too. Today I am sharing how I made these pretty lemon slice ice balls, just perfect for late summer drinks.

How to make your own lemon slice ice balls

Start by slicing two round lemon slices.
Using a sharp knife make a single cut to the center of each lemon slice.
Create a sphere shape by sliding the lemon slices together along the slice marks. Easier to see in the pics below than to explain.
Place lemon sphere into the whiskey ball mould.
Close mould and fill with water to slightly below the mark on the side.
Pop in the freezer overnight.
Once the ice is frozen the silicon mould is soft and easy to remove.

They came out sooooo pretty! I love the lemon stripes down the side of the ball, and they scented the lemon lime bitters I had made perfectly. I shot these images on a day when it was 37 degrees in Sydney and these cool lemon scented drinks went down a treat!
