Recipe Detail Page

Using a clear ice cube system, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to make as many large square ice cubes as you’ll need (this may take several days and resets, so plan ahead). If the glasses you plan on using require more than one cube, plan accordingly as only the top ice cube will be garnished. When ready to garnish the cubes, assemble your rimming or dusting powder, but leave out any salt or sugar if those are called for in original recipe. Working with one cube at a time, lightly melt one side only of cube by placing it in contact with metal baking sheet. Turn melted side up and dust top with powder. Immediately return to freezer to refreeze, at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, repeat with remaining cubes (being sure to leave some ungarnished if your glass requires more than 1 cube). To assemble, fill glasses with as many cubes as necessary with only the top ice cube garnished and placed garnish side up. Pour cocktail around and not over cubes to serve.
