Are you ready for a super easy to make, yet super fun treat for hot summer days? This patriotic snow cones recipe will cool you off! They are easy to make with Kool-Aid packets and very inexpensive!
This is enough to make a nice BIG batch of snow cones. To make these extra fun to make, the syrup can be put in squirt bottles, which are also cheap to buy!
The red, white and blue colors make them perfect for patriotic holidays like the 4th of July and Memorial Day and their frosty deliciousness makes them perfect for a hot summer day.
Snow Cone Cups and Straws
Flower Shaped Snow Cone Cups
To serve your snow cones you can put them in any glass or container. BUT, to make them more fun (and authentic) you can serve them either in paper snow cone cups or in bright plastic snow cone cups like we have pictured above.
If you’re serving these at a holiday party, you can serve up and add the flavoring yourself before handing them over to be enjoyed, or for some extra fun you can set up a do-it-yourself snow cone station and let your party goers dish up their own sno-cones and add their flavoring as they would like.
