Ice cubes explode in a drink because they are melting at a fast rate. The ice cannot contract fast enough to keep up with the melting, which causes it to crack.

Why do drinks water down after a while what phase change is this?
That would happen if there are ice cubes in the drink, and the ice cubes melt. Why? Because the amount of water in the drink increases. The phase change is from solid to liquid; this is called melting. You can avoid the drink watering down by not letting the ice touch the drink directly: either put the drink in a larger container with ice, or put a plastic bag with ice cubes into the drink. However, this way it will probably take longer for the drink to cool down.
