I have a snow cone addiction.  It’s true…I drive to my favorite snow cone stop on Sullivan’s Island every chance I get to satisfy my craving for shaved ice.  I even invested in my own ice shaver, so I could feed my fetish morning, noon, and night.  So when I had to create a summertime treat for a recent entertaining class, I immediately thought about snow cones.  A “Strawberries & Champagne Snow Cone”, a “Bloody Mary Snow Cone” with tomatoes, pepper sauce and pepper vodka.  So many possibilities and the perfect miniature show-stopper for a party.

And while glancing at the InStyle website today, I came across none other than the “adult”  snow cone.  Looks like I’m not the only one who is loving snow cones right now!  And check out Fresher Than Snow Cones Blog for really interesting flavor combinations for this summertime frozen treat.

I love it that the snow cone is InStyle!
