Spherical Ice Tray ($16): the smart way to chill sipping spirits and spirit-forward cocktails. (Way smarter than those rocks.) The larger the ice, the slower it melts. Alternately: Tovolo King Cube Extra Large Silicone Ice Cube Trays.
It should come as no surprise that we have both. If you think my boyfriend is obsessed with ice (he is), get a load of those crazy Japanese: $2000 spherical ice molds are par for the course (catch one in action Stateside at PDT). Whenever she returned from trips to her mother’s homeland, our former roommate brought back assorted ice toys for M., including a spherical tray. If nothing else, it’s pretty (be sure to use boiled water).

The London office’s favorite special-occasion lunch place (Redhook BTW which has a delicious £15 lunch special that includes appetizer and entrée - usually steak - one of the best steaks I had in London - get medium rare) served drinks with these ice spheres. They were classy.
