In Singapore, an iced drink can start warming up while you’re still deciding what to watch. From insulated tumblers to ice moulds, these 10 finds can help you keep drinks cooler, whether you’re sipping kopi at your desk or packing refreshments for a picnic.
1. 316 Stainless Steel Thermos Tumbler With Straw
This 316 stainless steel thermos tumbler combines insulation with a straw, making it a handy option for sipping cold drinks while you work. It suits anyone who tends to take their time finishing an iced coffee.
The tumbler is described as leak-proof, though you’ll want to check how its lid and straw opening seal before putting it in a bag. At your desk, the straw lets you take a sip without removing the whole lid each time.

2. Insulated Cup Sleeve / Mug Carrier Bag
If you already have a favourite cup, an insulated sleeve adds a layer around it to help slow heat transfer. This sleeve also doubles as a carrier, making your drink easier to bring along.
It’s a practical option for the walk between the coffee shop and your office. Check the sleeve’s dimensions against your cup first, especially if your usual order comes in a particularly tall or wide container.

3. Double-Wall Glass Cup
A double-wall glass cup has an insulating gap between its inner and outer walls, helping your drink warm up more slowly than it would in an ordinary single-wall glass. The construction also helps reduce condensation on the outside.
It’s a useful pick for iced tea, coffee or juice at home, especially if you dislike wet rings on your desk. The clear glass also lets you admire those coffee-and-milk layers before you stir everything together.

4. GEESO Silicone 15-Hole Large Ice Cube Tray With Lid
This GEESO tray makes 15 large ice cubes per batch, giving you a ready supply for drinks throughout the day. Its flexible silicone construction lets you push the cubes out from underneath.
The lid keeps the tray covered while it sits in the freezer. Fill it ahead of time so you have ice ready for your next jug of iced lemon tea, instead of discovering an empty tray when guests arrive.

5. Insulated Stainless Steel Wine Cooler Bucket With Aerator
An insulated wine cooler bucket gives a chilled bottle somewhere to sit between pours while helping slow its warming. It’s useful for dinners where you want the bottle within reach throughout the meal.
This option also comes with a wine aerator for serving. Start with a chilled bottle and check the bucket’s dimensions against the bottles you usually buy, particularly if you favour wider champagne bottles.

6. Tovolo Sphere / Colossal Ice Moulds, Set Of 2
Tovolo’s Sphere and Colossal moulds make large ice shapes for your glass, with two moulds per set. The larger pieces are designed to melt slowly, making them worth considering if you enjoy sipping your drinks leisurely.
Choose the shape you prefer and check that the finished ice will fit your glasses. A large ice sphere can also make a homemade drink look rather fancy, even when you’re enjoying it in your oldest army T-shirt.

7. Reusable Stainless Steel Ice Cubes With Tongs
Reusable stainless steel ice cubes help chill a drink without adding meltwater, which makes them appealing if you dislike diluted coffee, juice or spirits. Chill them according to the product’s instructions before use.
The included tongs let you place the cubes into your glass without handling each one. They’re particularly useful for maintaining an already chilled drink, though you shouldn’t expect identical cooling performance to a glass packed with ordinary ice.

8. ThermoGuard Stainless Steel Thermoflask
The ThermoGuard stainless steel thermoflask is an option for taking cold water along on your commute or keeping it beside you at work. Its insulation helps slow the warming that happens in a regular uninsulated bottle.
Fill it with cold water before heading out, then keep it closed between drinks. Check the capacity of your selected variant so you get a size that suits both your daily routine and the space in your bag.

9. Insulated Drink And Food Cooler Bag
An insulated cooler bag is useful when you’re bringing several drinks along, whether it’s for an East Coast Park picnic or a gathering at a friend’s place. It also gives you somewhere to pack food alongside your refreshments.
Load it with drinks that are already cold and add ice packs to help maintain the temperature. Keep the bag closed between serving rounds and out of direct sunlight to get more from the insulation.

This 2L jug combines 304 stainless steel with vacuum insulation, making it useful for keeping a shared batch of drinks cool. You can fill it with chilled water or iced tea and leave it within reach during meals.
The larger capacity also suits a working-from-home setup if you prefer refilling your glass from a jug. Keep it closed between pours to help retain the cold.
