Ingredients

2 cups water
liquid food coloring (any color, either regular or neon colors)
plastic, divided ice cube trays

Directions

1Add food coloring to water in a glass measuring pitcher (or other clear glass container) one drop at a time until you get the color you want. Mix food colors to make custom hues, if desired.
2Pour colored water into compartments of an ice cube tray and freeze solid, about 2 hours or more. Place cubes in a chilled glass bowl or ice bucket to add sparkle and color to any party bar.
3TIPS: Two cups of water fills one ice cube tray (about 16 cubes). Make more in different colors to fill more trays. Works best to chill clear beverages such as Sprite, club soda, sparkling grape juice, water or sparkling white wine.

Super cute and super simple! I did this for a rainbow themed birthday party and put the cubes in a pretty clear container with tongs. I did have to keep telling people they were not flavored though so I think some hesitated.

I get the impression this is more of an elegant tinting as opposed to some concentration of mouth discoloring faux pas lol. These would Alaska be amazing to arrange oysters or anything else requiring displayed chilling ;) Fruit juice or koolaid works too, if you don't mind adding flavors. I like to suspend a basil leaf and a blueberry in lemonade concentrate.....it melts into a flute of water beautifully, use carbonated water for fancy bubbles without the alcohol. Hope that helps with the staining dilemma!
