Two cosy home upgrades have landed; ZOKU’s posh daisy-and-crown cocktail ice sets for slower-melting drinks, plus BioLite’s solar Luci lanterns and string lights for instant glow
Two smart new launches are promising to make homes feel that bit cosier, whether you’re hosting friends or bracing for a blackout.
New York brand ZOKU has unveiled its Cocktail Ice Sets, which create chunky, slow-melting decorative cubes designed to keep drinks colder for longer without watering them down.
Shoppers can choose the Daisy set, making 2-inch flower-shaped ice balls, or the Crown set with King and Queen crown cubes – and both come with matching lowball glasses in “party in a box” gift packaging, priced at $29.99 (£25.6). Meanwhile, BioLite has expanded its solar-powered home lighting range, bringing back the popular Luci inflatable lanterns and solar string lights under the BioLite name for everyday ambience and emergency peace of mind.
Cocktail ice sets
Designed for those looking to elevate their drink experience, these stylish ice molds allow you to create unique, eye-catching ice cubes perfect for cocktails, mocktails, and more. Ideal for hosting events like “girls’ night in” or upgrading your everyday drinks, ZOKU’s Cocktail Ice Sets add a touch of sophistication to any occasion.
These large, decorative ice cubes melt slower than standard ones, ensuring your beverages stay cooler for longer without losing their flavor. Plus, the high-quality, food-safe silicone molds make ice cube release easy and mess-free. The Daisy Cocktail Set includes two molds that create beautiful 2-inch daisy-shaped ice balls, perfect for cocktails or mocktails.
The set also comes with two lowball glasses, adding a fun, feminine flair to your drink presentation. The Crown Cocktail Set features two molds that create regal King and Queen crown-shaped ice cubes.
Paired with two lowball glasses, this regal set is ideal for cocktail lovers or as a unique gift for special occasions. Both sets come beautifully packaged in ZOKU’s signature “party in a box” gift packaging, making them the perfect present for cocktail enthusiasts or a standout item for the upcoming holiday season.
ZOKU’s Cocktail Ice Sets will be available for purchase at zokuhome.com.
