Easy to use, with fun shapes, silicone ice cube trays are great for making edible cocktails. They’re generally less expensive than silicone candy molds and more widely available. Brands such as Tovolo, Silicone Zone and Lekue produce trays that make hearts, fruits, penguins, you name it. But simpler shapes make for easier jelly-shot removal.

Silicone ice cube trays, about $5.95 to $9.99 from various manufacturers, available at some Target stores and online at www.target.com, some Sur La Table stores and online at www.surlatable.com, and at Amazon.com.
