Martha's Icy Vodka Trick Is Too Gorgeous Not to Try at Your Next Party—Here's How to Do It

Make your next party unforgettable with one of Martha's iconic entertaining tricks—icy, floral vodka. It's a simple way to elevate your drink presentation and impress your guests.

Martha's iced vodka is a fun, sophisticated way to dress up a liquor bottle with beautiful flowers, while keeping it perfectly chilled. The bottle of vodka is encased in ice, with blossoms frozen inside for a stunning effect. This easy serving trick instantly enhances the experience, and you're sure to receive compliments all night.

Martha first shared this trick on her show many years ago, and we recently brought it out of the archives where it's gone viral with close to 2 million views. Here's how Martha creates this gorgeous vodka presentation.

In the video, Martha shares her special technique for making iced vodka. She starts by repurposing half-gallon milk cartons, washing them and opening the top so that the vodka bottle fits inside. Martha notes that a fifth of vodka fits perfectly in a half-gallon carton. After placing the vodka bottle in the carton, she decorates it with flowers along the sides of the carton. In the video, she uses cherry blossoms and flowering quince branches to adorn the bottle's sides, but you can use any seasonal flowers or décor you prefer.

Once the flowers are arranged around the bottle, fill the carton with cold water and put it in the freezer. After it freezes, keep the vodka inside the carton until it’s time to serve. Then, peel away the carton sides and pour the vodka into glasses. To showcase the stunning iced bottles, arrange them on serving trays for guests.

"The freezing really does enhance the flavor of this almost tasteless liquor," Martha says.
