Whether you’re sipping a classic Cherry Limeade or a vibrant blue Ocean Water, Sonic’s soft drinks are tough to beat. And while their signature flavor syrups do all the heavy lifting, we’re convinced half the magic is in the ice. There’s something about the tiny, slushy, chewable ice nuggets that makes the bev ten times more refreshing. Luckily, you don’t need to sit in the drive-through line to get your fix—as long as you add this popular ice maker to your Amazon cart while it’s on sale for Prime Day.

The GE Profile Opal Countertop Nugget Ice Maker is currently 15% off, and we’re not letting the sale go to waste. It’s simple: All you have to do is fill the water reservoir and wait 20 minutes for fluffy ice nuggets. As they melt, the water is filtered back into the reservoir before being recycled into more ice. That means you’ll never run out (or have to make an impromptu trip to the liquor store for another bag).

It can make 24 pounds of ice a day and holds 3 pounds at a time, making serving cold soda or cocktails at a party a total breeze. You won’t even have to leave your guests to operate the ice maker, since it’s Bluetooth compatible and can be operated from your phone. Just like that, you’re officially the hostess with the mostest.
