Plain ice cubes tend to water down drinks and are, well, kind of boring. Why not make a magical potion with cubes made from your favorite drink mixes? Serve them with lemon-lime soda or other clear beverages — as the cubes melt, the drink changes colors and flavors! Mix up your team colors for a cool way to show your spirit or choose colors that match your party color scheme. For just a few bucks, all your guests will say “cheers” to this clever and frugal idea.
