Ticent Ice Cube Trays (Set of 2) Silicone Sphere & Large Square Molds Review (2026)

Who this ice mold set fits

This set is aimed at people who drink both neat spirits and mixed cocktails and do not want to buy two separate ice molds. The sphere tray makes rounded ice for whiskey or bourbon on the rocks, while the square tray makes large cubes better suited to cocktails, an old fashioned, or a tall spirit and mixer. Someone hosting a big party who needs a full ice bucket's worth of cubes quickly will find the output limited, since each tray only produces six pieces per freeze cycle. For a household or home bar that wants slow-melting, presentation-worthy ice for a couple of drinks at a time rather than volume, the combination of one sphere mold and one square mold in a single set covers most everyday situations without cluttering the freezer with several trays.

What is actually in the two trays

The set includes one sphere mold that makes six ice spheres around 1.75 inches across, and one square mold that makes six large ice cubes around 2 inches per side, according to the product listing. Both trays are made from food grade silicone and are BPA free, and the silicone construction is what lets the ice release cleanly without cracking or sticking, unlike rigid plastic trays that can require twisting or running under water. The trays are listed as dishwasher safe, so they can be cleaned in a normal wash cycle rather than only by hand. Packaged together, the two trays fit in a compact footprint of roughly 7.5 by 5 by 3.3 inches, so they do not need to dominate freezer shelf space the way several single-shape trays would.

Living with them in the freezer

Day to day, the appeal of large format ice is that it melts more slowly than small cubes from a standard tray, which means less dilution in a neat pour of whiskey or a spirit-forward cocktail over a long sipping session. Filling the trays is straightforward, and the silicone flexes enough to pop out spheres and cubes without much effort once frozen solid. Because the set makes only six pieces per tray, per freeze, planning ahead matters if you are hosting more than a couple of guests, since you may need to refill and refreeze between rounds. Some owners note that silicone can pick up freezer odors over time if the trays sit uncovered near strong-smelling foods, so storing them with a lid or in a dedicated section of the freezer helps keep the ice tasting clean.

How it stacks up against other cocktail ice molds

Compared with the W&P Large Clear Cocktail Ice Mold, which focuses on a single large square shape with an easy-release design, this Ticent set trades some of that single-shape polish for the versatility of two shapes in one box. The glacio 2-pack of silicone trays for eight large cubes each offers a higher per-freeze cube count if volume matters more than variety, while a set like the Mossime whiskey trays with lids adds covered storage that this set does not include. The main trade-off across this category is the same: more pieces per freeze generally means smaller or simpler shapes, while premium single large cubes and spheres, like this set's, mean fewer pieces and more attention to presentation.

Verdict and who should look at a different set

This is a solid pick for anyone who wants both whiskey spheres and cocktail cubes without buying separate trays, and our score of 8.6 out of 10 reflects strong value for a two-in-one set. Get it if your ice needs are for a few drinks at a time and you like having both shapes on hand for different spirits and cocktails. Consider a higher-capacity tray, such as a multi-cube silicone set, if you regularly host larger groups and need more than six pieces of ice per shape at once. For most home bars making one or two rounds of drinks, this set covers the bases well.
