Sno-Cones That Refresh and Inebriate

Yesterday I posted on summer blended drinks. (Read it here) And then this hits my email box: “Forget blended drinks… what about alcoholic sno-cones?”

Oh, I’m with ya. They’re cool. They’re refreshing. And they’re mood altering. Besides courtside tickets to women’s beach volleyball, there’s nothing better on a hot summer day to get you feeling right.

The recipes below are courtesy of Midori melon liqueur. Poured straight, or mixed with vodka, tequila and fruit juices, these sno-cones will take both the heat, and the edge, off.

To make ’em, pick up a sno-cone maker at any big retailer (they run under $50, and trust me, you’ll use it all summer long), shave a bunch of ice into the cones, and pour the mixture over the top. They’re like icy green snow balls sent from heaven.
