Just arrived – My Amazing New Kitchen Gadget
Ice Maker Extraordinaire!
A new kitchen gadget has arrived in my house and I wanted to share, because I love it.
Why a kitchen gadget? The chances are pretty good that you do a few more things around your home besides decorate it. My guess is that you spend a decent amount of time in the kitchen. Because, don’t we all?
And, if you’re like me, especially in the Summer, you have issues with ICE. If you don’t own a fridge with an ice maker, you’re probably tired of running out for ice or filling those itty bitty ice cube trays.
I know I was. But, no more!
So here’s my favorite new addition, and as kitchen gadgets go, this one is fast becoming an all-time favorite: my Gladstone ice maker. This little counter-top powerhouse can make 50 pounds of ice in a day, it’s super quiet and it produces the first cubes within 6 minutes.
As a result, I’m never without ice now, even if I need it at a moment’s notice.
That makes me a happy person, because it’s made my Summer life more efficient. And who wouldn’t appreciate that?
So, I have a few gifts for you!

2. Recipes
I’ve been honing my favorite martini for a long time and I think I finally have it down so I’m sharing my secret receipe with you. But I gotta warn you, you’re going to love it. And for those of you who may be interested in a non-adult beverage, I’ve included the virgin version of the drink below as well. Enjoy!
Blueberry Lemondrop Martini
Supplies
- 3/4 ounce Ginger liqueur or brandy (I use Canton)
- 1/4 ounce Limoncello
- 2 ounces Blueberry vodka
- 2 ounces Lemon soda
- Splash of lemon juice
- Ice to mix
- Sugar for rim
- Lemon wedge & blueberries for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse your martini glass in water and place in the freezer for 10 minutes. It keeps the glass cold longer.
- Remove the glass from the freezer. Place a layer of sugar in a dish or shallow bowl and dip just the rim of the glass in the sugar. If you didn't freeze your glass, cut a lemon wedge and moisten the rim first.
- Pour Canton, Limoncello & vodka into a shaker filled with ice & shake vigorously.
- Pour the contents of your shaker into your martini glass. It should fill it to the brim.
- Add a lemon wedge and blueberry garnish.

I may need to try the virgin version! Looks so delicious
Thanks so much Shanna! I love this ice maker, it makes it that much easier to create my signature drinks (which I also love lol).
That is AWESOME!!! We just purchased a new home with a huge deck, fire pit, and basement party area. As soon as we are allowed to have gatherings, we are going to have a gathering – this would come in so handy! Thanks for sharing!
Rachel, thank you! A year later and I still love this gadget, it comes in handy every single week. Enjoy your new space!
