Looking for a pretty way to dress up drinks while entertaining, or a simple flavoring for ice water? Martha Stewart has a couple ideas for making ice cubes that are more eye-catching and tasty than the usual.
Herb- and fruit-infused ice cubes are any easy way to flavor drinks and Martha has a few recipes for making colorful cubes. Frozen cucumber-basil puree sounds especially refreshing, and might be the perfect in a simple gin cocktail.
Freezing edible flowers in ice cubes makes for a gorgeous addition to summer drinks. The instructions include this tip: for extra clear cubes, use distilled water that has been boiled and cooled.

I've been known to make coffee ice cubes for iced coffee, but I usually don't bother. The flowers are gorgeous. Highly doubtful would bother, but lovely.
I love these ideas - gonna try them out on hubby, he is super supportive of my "artistic" side - lol
These look like they would be Perfect for a cocktail party/ baby shower/ or a bridal shower. Little effort, but a major wow factor
These are so beautiful! I'll definitely have to try this sometime, although I guess you have to make sure whatever you freeze in them will look ok once they melt!
I'm not sure I fancy soggy limp petals floating around my drink once the ice has melted.
nice photography, but I'm sure they won't be so pretty in real life :-/
