TIP OF THE DAY: Designer Ice
| Make your ice cubes a focus of attention by freezing fruit, herbs or small vegetables in the cubes. For sweet drinks, add a raspberry, small strawberry, red grape, mint leaf or lemon peel curl to each section of the ice cube tray. For savory drinks like Bloody Marys, use a grape tomato, small basil leaves or a snip of rosemary. For ice water, quartered cucumbers (leave the peel for color), mint and lemon curls are pretty.
