These spheres appear so large that they would get in the way of sipping a cocktail. Yes or no? Thanks!!!

I use them all the time, they don't interfere with sipping. Very cool look while drinking.

My guesstimate is that they're about 2-2 1/2 inches diameter. You're not the first person to ask me that, and all I can say is that I've never had any problem , but, of course, it'd probably depend on what kind of glass you use. Rocks glass--no prob. Taller highball-ish models may give you some contact if you're trying to drain the last drop, but so would any other kind of cube. Give 'em a shot! It's worth the money just to see people's reaction when you serve 'em up a drink with one.

These are perfect for whiskey/Scotch/bourbon glasses and work in highball glasses as well. But they have never interfered with sipping. They have a slower melt rate and unless you want your drink diluted, that is useful. Sometimes I even use them on iced tea. The first time I tried using a ball of ice was in Japan at a whiskey bar, they get large cubes of ice, and one of the guys used and ice pick to shape it into a cube, in his hands. Crazy. This is a much safer option.

No ma'am, the larger the sphere ( frozen surface area) , the slower the melt rate according to my high schools physics class. These ice balls are wonderful for shots of Whiskey, Scotch, and other single serve type/ straight shot type liquor libations. The major reason for the usage of these large ice balls is the slower melt rate compared to smaller ice cubes which dilute your drinks much faster than these slower melt rate ice spheres.

Ofcourse it depends Of the size of the glas... They are nice size but stil ... Round shaped ice cubes should be optimal to keep the drink cool without melting, but what I discoverred in a while the melting begins... Size is ok, when You have glas, what is big enogh. I self, as a pro bartender prefer bigger ice cubes/balls ;)

Have not had that problem even in a glass not much larger than the balls. For some reason. Havent heard any guest's complaints.

They are fairly big. If you have trouble swallowing capsules, these may not be for you.

Don't have one with me, but that sounds correct...they are great for makin small deserts etc. They are like a tall shot glass. Hope this helps ; )

IMO, no. The mouth is perfect for putting in the little treats but a wand.. if it is round, would be about the same size, perhaps bigger... it would have to be a thin oval to fit and that would be hard to work with. Aside from the size, while the cover fits nicely.. I wouldn't ever try it with a liquid... it's not that type of fit. I think the pressure of the water would easily seep through and make a mess. These are nice for an inexpensive party favor that just sits LOL.. I wouldn't say it's made well enough for anything else.

no, they are not. they are, per the below, perfect for drinking out of. i also use them to take yogurt parfaits to work, which works out well too.

They plenty large enough for a taste, but not the way wine should be tasted. Good wines should be tasted in a glass that has a large size and shape like a brandy snifter so the wine can be swished around to smell the vapors before the wine even hits your mouth. Sorry! These would not be recommended.

They are cylinder shape with an indentation on top. It makes 3 different sizes. Attractive in your drinks.

Unfortunately, no. I've only briefly stacked these glasses to get from destination A to destination B, and it's an awkward experience. They are just too bulky to fit together nicely. On the other hand, they are really beautiful and sturdy.

Not very well. Cubes are small with a large indentation in the center that makes them melt very, very quickly. Tough to make a good Martini with them.

They are large....probably 8" long....you could use them as serving spoons.

No it's too large, about 1 inch in diameter. It's really designed for drinking from a creek/stream or from a large container.

I don't think they would work well, as these, when fully hydrated are each about the size of a marble

Yes, it depends on how much you use them. I found 1 of my "glasses" developed a hole in what must have been a weaker spot in the salt marbling area after many uses. That being said I really enjoy them and they are a great way to enjoy Tequila!

I use at LEAST a shot glass of this syrup per blender full of margarita. I think i would order 2 of the 3 packs or contact them they may sell a bigger size. This stuff is amazing people at your party will rave! the last thought I have is that the syrup really clings to the side of whatever you measure with so try to plan for that or let it all drip out.

No, they aren't quite wide enough for a thick drink; they're only slightly wider than a regular straw.

You can make them. They suggest you place the alcohol in after so that it freezes up. But I will agree that it is very loud.

If they're smart enough to pull the red top off the clear bottom and tip the bottom up to their mouths to drink, then yes, but I really can't see that happening...I've tipped it over and so very little drips out, they'd get caught before they could get anymore than a drop or two.
