Why 50 mm Ice Spheres Are the Ultimate Home-Bar Upgrade

Ask any bartender: ice is an ingredient. When you swap fast-melting cubes for a 50 mm sphere, you get slower dilution, better temperature control and instant visual impact. At home, that’s the difference between a decent drink and a “wow, where did you get that?” moment.

The science behind the sphere

A sphere has less surface area relative to its volume than small cubes. That means it melts more slowly, so your whisky, negroni, or zero-alcohol spritz stays colder for longer without washing out the flavour.

The simplest way to do it at home

The Solenco Life Sphere Ice Maker forms crystal-clear 50 mm spheres with touch-control convenience, a hygienic Auto Clean cycle, and flexible water options (manual fill now, optional direct-water connection later). It’s built for modern kitchens and home bars with a sleek stainless-steel design and eco-friendly R290 refrigerant.

Where spheres shine

• Whisky & dark spirits: keep nuance, lose the watery finish.
• Spirit-forward cocktails: old fashioned, negroni, boulevardier.
• Clear & citrus drinks: G&T, gimlet, paloma, alcohol-free spritzers.

Hosting made effortless

Planning a dinner, sundowner or braai? The Sphere Ice Maker produces batches throughout the day and stores a generous supply so you’re always prepared. Load the basket, tap to start, and focus on your guests.

Styling your home bar
