Description
xThe ORI Future GLAZER mini is a compact clear-sphere ice mold that produces large, slow-melting crystal ball ice ideal for whiskey and craft cocktails.
Designed by ORI Future for drinking enthusiasts, the GLAZER mini combines a stainless-steel outer shell, BPA-free silicone mold and custom plastic liners to freeze remarkably clear 2.56-inch spheres. Its small footprint fits most home freezers while delivering elegant, long-lasting ice that chills drinks evenly with minimal dilution.
How does the GLAZER mini make clearer ice than a standard tray?
GLAZER mini reduces trapped air and impurities by directing water to freeze from the outside inward and using a fitted liner to control expansion. Using mineral or boiled tap water further limits dissolved gases and cloudiness for a near-transparent sphere.
- Insulated stainless-steel body encourages directional freezing
- Customized plastic liners guide shape and reduce surface imperfections
- BPA-free silicone ensures easy release without damage
- Recommended water types: mineral, tap, or boiled tap water
What size ice sphere does it produce and will it fit my glass?
The mold creates a 2.56 x 2.56 inch (6.5 x 6.5 cm) sphere—large enough to cool a spirit efficiently while fitting most standard whiskey tumblers and rocks glasses. Its overall mold measures 3.46 x 6.10 inches (8.8 x 15.5 cm), making it compact to store.
- Ice sphere diameter: 2.56 inches (6.5 cm)
- Mold footprint: 3.46 x 6.10 inches (8.8 x 15.5 cm)
- Suitable for standard rocks and lowball glasses
- Large surface area for steady cooling, minimal dilution
What materials are included and how do I care for them?
The set includes one BPA-free silicone mold, two customized plastic liners and a stainless-steel outer body. All components are simple to clean: hand wash or rinse; silicone tolerates gentle dishwashing but avoid high-heat cycles that could warp liners.
- One BPA-free silicone mold for safe food contact
- Two plastic liners to shape and protect ice clarity
- Stainless-steel body for insulation and durability
- Hand wash recommended; avoid harsh abrasives
How should I freeze water to get the clearest sphere?
For the best clarity, fill the mold with mineral water, tap water, or boiled and cooled tap water, then freeze undisturbed. Slow, directional freezing plus a quality water source minimizes cloudiness and yields a handsome crystal ball.
- Use mineral water or boiled tap water chilled before pouring
- Freeze on a flat level shelf to maintain sphere symmetry
- Avoid repeated thaw/refreeze cycles to preserve clarity
- Let the silicone warm slightly to ease sphere removal
Who is this for? The ORI Future GLAZER mini suits home bartenders, whiskey lovers and design-conscious hosts who want an elegant, slow-melting ice solution without professional equipment. It’s ideal for anyone who values presentation and controlled dilution in spirits or cocktails, but lacks space for larger directional freezers. If you enjoy neat pours, crafted cocktails or elevating casual drinks with a refined touch, the GLAZER mini is a compact tool that delivers visibly clearer, longer-lasting ice spheres.
