Add frozen grapes to wine for last-minute cooling. It looks lovely and they don't melt into the wine.
Laura Sorsby, 43, Ipswich, Suffolk

Make ice cubes more fun for a party by freezing sprigs of mint, cherries, lemon or orange peel in them.
Annabel Craven, 33, Milton Keynes

For fun drinks at a party, use an empty chocolate box instead of an ice tray to make ice cubes. You get all sorts of shapes and sizes.
Marie Fonseca, 40, Brampton, Cambridgeshire

Don't use broken ice cubes to make a martini. They melt too quickly and water down the drink.
Soleil Pugh, 37, Newport, Gwent

I used to make ice cubes out of beer to cool down lagers on a hot day. Now I freeze coffee and stick it in the blender to make an instant coffee drink.
Ross Hill, 39, Portsmouth, Hampshire
