A Cocktail, a Story... and Unforgettable Ice Cubes
A Detail That Changes Everything
I’m in Miami, at an elegant bar where the night blends with design and the art of fine cocktails. The atmosphere feels like a classic gentlemen’s lounge—with a tropical, sophisticated twist only this city can offer. Dark wood, soft lighting, the quiet hum of conversation... everything is perfect.
The Unexpected Moment
I sit at the counter. The bartender is right in front of me, his hands moving with near-choreographed precision. He’s preparing a cocktail and serves it in a beautifully cut crystal glass. But something immediately catches my eye: the ice cubes.
Frozen Design
These are not just any ice cubes.
Each one has a perfectly defined embossing, featuring the bar’s logo: stylized palm trees, pure Miami flair. It’s subtle, yet striking. The ice becomes the star. And in that moment, I realize—this small detail turns the experience into something special. A simple scene, yet full of intention.
I keep watching as the frozen palm trees sparkle while the drink chills. I can’t help but smile.
More Than Ice: Brand and Experience
It’s just ice... and yet, it’s design, identity, experience. A detail that stays in your memory.
And all thanks to something as simple (and powerful) as a custom silicone mold.
Because unique moments deserve to be molded.
Designing the Ice: Behind the Scenes in Our Mold Workshop
At MoldeSilicona, every project starts with a story—and every detail is shaped with care.
For this design, we begin with a basic cube and the company’s logo. Using CAD software, we create a high-precision 3D model tailored specifically for ice casting. Once the design is approved, we produce the prototype in ultra-high-resolution resin using 3D printing technology.
With the physical model ready, we craft the custom mold using food-grade silicone—a material known for its flexibility, durability, and perfect surface finish. Our silicone is:
- Safe for food and beverages
- Flexible for easy unmolding
- Heat and cold resistant
- Long-lasting and reusable
- Odorless and non-stick
The result is a high-quality mold that produces perfectly shaped ice cubes with crisp, elegant branding.
To finish the process, we present a virtual preview of the final product—so our clients can visualize exactly how their logo will appear, frozen in a perfect moment.
From concept to ice, every mold we make is crafted to elevate the experience.
Because when design meets intention, even a cube of ice can become unforgettable.
