Edible Flower Ice Cubes

Sharing is caring!

These edible flower ice cubes are the prettiest addition to a cocktail, sparkling water, a sangria, or punch!

They're so easy to make and add a lot of visual interest to a drink.

How to Use Floral Ice Cubes

Making ice cubes with flowers is a great way to preserve extra edible flowers you have or to make a fancy drink even fancier!

I like to use edible flowers in cocktails or in a glass of rosé. They're also very pretty floating in a punch bowl.

Make sure to use flowers that are fresh and pesticide-free. The ice will melt and the flowers may be exposed to your drink, so don't use any flowers bought from conventional nurseries or grocery stores unless they are labeled edible.

What You'll Need

• Edible flowers - You'll need at least 1 per ice cube. You can use a mix of flowers or all the same type. Check out our list of edible flowers to see all the types you can use. I do recommend using larger flowers as the smaller ones tend to not show up as well.
• Silicone Ice Cube Tray - You'll need an ice cube tray made from silicone that you can easily pop the cubes out of. I have this ice cube tray and highly recommend it.
• Water - You'll use enough water to cover the flowers and fill up the ice cube tray.
