Have you ever seen one of those gorgeous wine bottle chillers made as a crafty DIY project using either an old 2-liter bottle or tupperware? You know the kind, gorgeous lemon slices, color coordinated to the event. I have ALWAYS loved this idea…. however, the idea of cutting up a plastic bottle to make it “just perfect” seemed a bit daunting. In steps Williams Sonoma to my rescue!
When planning my Cocktails & Croquet party, I decided I wanted to attempt making one of these to dress up my casual bar. The new wine bottle chiller from Williams Sonoma is simple to use and creates a perfect mold each and every time. And it comes with the silver coaster, so as your mold starts to drip on that hot summer day….it won’t make a mess or ruin your tablecloth!
I used lemon and lime slices, and raspberries to fill mine. {Tip: the raspberries very quickly turned the ice pink, so next time I may opt for strawberry slices or blueberries!) It’s a great conversation piece and is a very cost effective decoration: just add water!
That is the best and most creative idea I have ever seen for keeping wine chilled! I love it!
