An easy way to achieve a “bug effect” in icecubes is to place a raisin or two in each space of an icecube tray. Fill with water then freeze.
When these icecubes are floating in a punchbowl and glasses, it looks like bugs are floating in the beverage.
Probably not a good idea to use when serving small children since the raisins will be loose in the beverage when the icecubes melt–they may choke on them.
