Oxo Ice Bucket Review

I am the girl who cannot do a party without going out everything. There will be flowers, starters, candles and music that fit the topic. A beverage broke is also mandatory: a structural fragile, a tequila-soda bar or sometimes just a few bottles of wine.

While mine Cocktail party equipment The reserve is well sorted, for the longest time I had no way of serving ice cream. Instead, my friends had to watch outpost 31, also known as my freezer, a horror zone made of spilled corn, freezer meat and mysterious objects in small plastic bags. It was uncomfortable. It was embarrassing. So finally, last Christmas, I bitten the ball and therefore asked Oxo isolated ice bucket. It has increased my cocktail game totally.

Why you need an ice bucket

As I already mentioned, I would like to have an interactive beverage station for guests. It is a great party trick to generate a spread of spirits, syrups, juices and garnites and let the guests wild with him. While different potioners are essential, ice cream is also: they cannot have any Spray or a Margarita– or even a touched Martini– without cold cubes. Enter the ice rink: a simple, stylish way to have the guests build the drink of your dreams without having to open the freezer.

While a classic, Metal bucket I’ll do the trick that I have chosen for This isolated option of OXO This keeps ice frozen for a long, Mäandrische Hours. It comes with a tiny pliers set so that the guests can fill their glass without getting cool fingers. It also has a lid. So if you take the party outside, you will not find a fly that sits on your ice. And the handle makes it easy to move.

I still officially tested ice plaintiffs, but I like the Oxo: If it is filled, ice cream holds for a few hours, which is sufficient for a dinner party. It also easily cleans: simply empty water, rinse and scrub it and let it dry it.

And its use goes beyond cocktails: you can glue a bottle of wine and obviously use the ice to cool other drinks such as Soda or Seltzer. I no longer have to be ashamed when a friend meanders into the kitchen to get lost his water – the ice bucket saves the day.
