OXO Good Grips Double Wall Ice Bucket with Tongs and Garnish Tray 8.5″

Description

Product Overview

The OXO Good Grips Double Wall Ice Bucket with Tongs and Garnish Tray is a thoughtfully engineered solution for home entertainers and professional hosts alike. Constructed from durable, impact‑resistant plastic with a sleek gray finish, the bucket features a double‑wall insulated design that keeps ice cold for hours, reducing melt and waste. The clear hinged lid stays attached to the bucket, allowing you to see exactly how much ice remains without opening the container. Inside, a removable garnish tray provides a dedicated space for chilled fruits, herbs, olives, or cocktail accessories, keeping them protected from the surrounding ice and ensuring they stay fresh throughout your event. The included nylon tongs are equipped with sharp teeth for a secure grip on ice cubes, making it easy to add ice to drinks without slipping. All components are designed for easy hand‑wash cleaning, and the bucket’s compact dimensions (7.37″ L x 8.5″ W x 7.5″ H) fit comfortably on most bar tops and kitchen counters.

Usage

This ice bucket excels in a variety of settings, from casual weekend gatherings to formal dinner parties. Place the bucket on a serving table during cocktail hour to keep drinks chilled, or use it at a backyard barbecue to provide guests with easy access to ice for beverages. The garnish tray is perfect for arranging lemon wedges, mint sprigs, or cocktail olives, allowing you to present a polished look without extra dishes. The tongs hang conveniently from either side of the bucket when not in use, keeping them within reach and maintaining a tidy appearance. Because the bucket’s internal reservoir separates meltwater from the ice, you can serve ice for extended periods without the water diluting drinks. Its sturdy handle makes it simple to transport from the freezer to the serving area, and the non‑slip base ensures stability on smooth surfaces.
