Ice does most of the work in a cold drink shot. It proves the glass is cold, it breaks the light into something worth looking at, and it gives the liquid edges to bend around. These cubes carry the rounded corners and slightly clouded centres that real ice takes on, which is what stops them reading as glass blocks.
They are modelled with clean non-overlapping surfaces so a refraction or frost shader lands exactly where it is placed, and they can be scattered loose in a tumbler or stacked in a bucket.
At $19 this is a prop rather than a centrepiece and is priced as one. It suits beverage advertising, food photography set dressing, bar and restaurant interiors, and any product render where a cold drink has to look cold. On sale since 2015.
