Review: Siligrams Personalized Ice Molds
If you’re like me, by now you’ve got a half dozen promotional silicone ice trays in your freezer, regularly popped out for cocktails that shine best over a single, large piece of ice. Giant cubes are great… but they’re also a little boring, no? Enter Siligrams, which offers personalized ice molds that let you freeze your initials — or anything else — directly into the ice.
The pictures really tells the story better than I could in words: Upload your logo or your initials, and Siligrams pops out a mold with your design included. You can opt for standard cubes or go for cylinders, hexagons, frozen shot glasses, and more — and the trays come in a variety of colors, too.
I checked out a set with a “null set” logo and found the thick silicone to be easy to work with, just the right thickness for getting ice out while keeping the tray from flopping around while you’re loading it into the freezer. The effect on cocktails isn’t as impactful as I’d hoped — you may need to alert your guest to the imprint — but it’s still a fun way to add just a little personal touch to any cocktail you happen to be serving. Definitely a great stocking stuffer, too.

I purchased the custom ice trays from Siligrams for a Christmas gift. I placed the order six weeks in advance. I’ve yet to receive the ice tray and the customer service is horrible.
Firstly, they must have used amazing lighting to get their cubes to look good. Additionally, on ‘their’ pic you see a line at the top and bottom of ‘bar 431’. Mine arrived without that detail. So when I reached out to them, they sent me a pic of what I ‘approved’. Of course, I was looking to make sure that I had no typos. It NEVER occurred to me to say ‘hey, where is the line at the top and the bottom.’ When I wrote to them, they weren’t interested in helping me. Now, when I said ‘okay….when I approved that since it didn’t have those lines, how would I go about making sure I got the one in the pic if I ordered again?’ Crickets. At the end of the day, I wasted $90 for a terrible product and terrible customer service. I’ll go back to the drawing board for the gift for my friend.
