Holiday Cocktail Snow Cones. It’s the season of entertaining…And I have done a lot of entertaining already, with more to come.  I truly love entertaining, and one of my favorite aspects of every party is creating a menu to match the party guests likes and the party theme. 

Recently, I was sent a Nostalgia Electrics Snow Cone Machine.  It is so, so amazing!  I cannot believe how perfect the shaved ice is!  I am a total shaved ice snob, and this is right on par with my favorite snow cone shops.  

My most recent party was a Social Artworking party, and the theme was Baby it’s Cold Outside…I knew immediately I wanted to serve boozy snow cones at the party and I was ecstatic when the UPS truck dropped off my Snow Cone Machine!  I decided to bring a bunch of possible drink combinations to the party so we could taste test together…and, taste test, we did! 

There was one stand out recipe, that we named the Fire and Ice.  I cannot even count how many we all had that night!  Since the party, I have tried a few more boozy snow cones, don’t judge, it’s for work…. and I have found two more absolute must try snow cones; the Drunken Pineapple Cream Snow Cone, and the Naughty and Nice Snow Cone.

[yumprint-recipe id=’75’]Since we all experimented a lot with our drinks that night, I set up a little bar cart and invited a few friends over to enjoy some day drinking.  I set out the ingredients for each snow cone flavor on a huge sturdy box with a table cloth over it.  I don’t have enough room for the snow cone cart, my Christmas tree, and a table or traditional bar cart in front of the fireplace, so this box was PERFECT!

Everyone was able to make their favorite flavor snow cone and sample each one.  The winner was still the Fire and Ice, but the Drunken Pineapple was a close second.  Naughty and nice was also very good.
