    Camping ice for drinks

    I am running two camping fridges, one as a freezer and one as a fridge, which gives me the luxury of thinking about making some ice cubes to put in the rum and coke

    But I want to be able to make them in something that won't leak so I can put it in in the morning and drive with the fridge and have ice cubes at night so a standard tray won't work.

    Anyone do this? And if so how do you do it?

    Best I have been able to come up with so far is putting water in a ziplock sandwich bag and trying to lay it flat in the fridge, and then hitting it with a hammer to break it up for drinks once frozen.

    Woolies sell a standard Ice Cube tray that has a lid on it. Locks on like a tupperware container and works fine as long as you do not over fill as when the water freezes and expands it will push the lid off.

    Is a bit big for my 3 way camper fridge freezer box but fits Ok in my compressor fridges.

    Yup definitely the ice cube bags, I've used them lot's of time before and never had one leak.. and for around $2 for about 180 ice cubes they are a bargain!

    Thanks all. I thought about the whiskey stones, but my dad has some and I didn't think they did much of a job.

    Will look out for the sealable tray and or the glad ice cube bags.

    Whiskey stones are the dogs....

    I would never taint my Scotch(s) with a H20 substance

    I quite like the slight dilution as the ice melts the scotch changes character. Even the scotch critics and writer will give you a description of the flavours neat and then they will say something like, water unlocks flavours of ..........

    But each to their own.
