Servings 12 servings
Calories 228kcal
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.
