Who says sno-cones are just for kids? It's July. It's hot. You'll be standing out in the heat all day and night Wednesday, grilling and watching fireworks, sweating like OJ trying to get a dinner reservation. You're gonna need something to cool you off. And a kiddie sno-cone ain't gonna do it.

Instead, serve up these much more adult versions of the summer classic, using flavored vodkas from Van Gogh and a little shaved or crushed ice. The first three recipes even make red, white and blue Gogh-cones... how convenient.

They're easy to make, beat back the heat, and will make you forget you've been standing in the same spot for 11 hours. In 90 degree heat. With four thousand screaming kids around.
