The Fourth of July is almost here everyone! That means it’s time to get patriotic with our celebrating and entertaining. Whatever your favorite traditions are or whatever your annual rituals involve, there is something so special about the entire country celebrating in unison.

I can’t think of anything better in summer than bringing our country together on holidays such as Independence Day. I’ve got the perfect adult twist on a classic nostalgic frozen treat to party with: Spiked Snow Cones. These treats are as festive as they are unique. You are sure to wow your guests with the ingenuity and deliciousness of this punch hack.

I grew up loving snow cones and their fun and bright flavors and colors. I wanted to recreate the fun of that time with a bit of adult flair by adding Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka to blueberry and raspberry homemade intensified punch flavors. The natural flavors of the punch syrups are beautifully vivid and perfect for celebrating with Red, White and Blue this holiday.

I can’t wait to make these for Independence Day, and really all summer. They scream celebration with their bright seasonal flavors and will make all of your adult parties a heck of a lot more fun too.

Ingredients

• ▢ 5 cups ice

For the Raspberry Punch Syrup:

• ▢ 2 cups water
• ▢ 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• ▢ 1 cup fresh raspberries
• ▢ 1/4 cup unflavored Original Smirnoff
• ▢ Optional: Red food coloring

For the Blueberry Punch Syrup:

• ▢ 2 cups water
• ▢ 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• ▢ 1 cup fresh blueberries
• ▢ 1/4 cup unflavored Original Smirnoff
• ▢ Optional: Blue food coloring

Instructions

• Add ice 1 cup at a time to heavy duty blender and finely crush ice until it becomes snow consistency and pure white. Repeat until all ice is finely crushed then add to a container and place in the freezer.
• To make the syrups, add water, sugar and raspberries to one medium sized pot over medium high heat and repeat with blueberry ingredients (water, sugar and blueberries) in a separate medium sized pot over medium high heat.
• Bring both pots to a boil and continue to simmer until they reduce and colors intensify.
• Strain each mixer into separate bowls.
• Stir 1/4 cup of Smirnoff into each individual bowl.
• If using, mix in separate food coloring in separate bowls to further enhance colors. (Tip: I do recommend using the blue food coloring for an authentic blue toned syrup. Without it, the blueberry punch syrup will appear more purple instead of blue. Mix some in until a darker navy blue color develops.
• Add individual syrups to two separate squeeze bottles and refrigerate until completely cool.
• To serve, scoop snow ice into small cups and squeeze syrup over each cup and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to change colors by using different fruit for different holidays.
