Servings: 1
Cost: $35
Equipment
- Ice bucket
- Small container wine bottle size
- Weights like frozen ice packs
- Wax paper optional if needed
Ingredients
- Flowers fresh or faux
- Water distilled or boiled
Instructions
- Start by adding 2–3 inches of water to the bottom of your ice bucket.
- Scatter in fresh or faux flower petals.
- Place the bucket in the freezer and let this base freeze completely.
- Position the small container in the middle of ice bucket. Fill your small container with weights and carefully place it in the center of the frozen base. This container will form the opening that holds the wine bottle in your DIY frozen wine chiller.
- Build the floral ice walls. Add more flower petals around the edges of the bucket.
- Slowly pour in water until the bucket is about 1/3 full. Freeze again until solid.
- If the center container starts to shift, use small bundles of wax paper to hold it in place while freezing. The wax paper will peel off easily once frozen.
- Once the previous layer is frozen, add more petals and fill the bucket the rest of the way with water. Return it to the freezer and allow to freeze fully.
- When you’re ready to use it, remove the bucket from the freezer and run the outside under warm water. This will loosen the ice and allow the frozen wine chiller to slide out smoothly.
