Red, White, and Blue Snow Cones

Yields: ½ cup of each syrup, enough for 12 snow cones

Cook time: 12 minutes, plus time to cool

Ingredients

1 c sugar
1/2 c water
crushed ice
For red syrup
1 c strawberries, halved
¼ c white rum
For blue syrup
juice of 1 lime
¼ c blue curacao

Directions

Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, and then reduce to a simmer, and stirring cook for two minutes.

For red syrup: Pour half of the simple syrup - about 1/2 cup - over the strawberries. Allow to macerate for 1 hour, then puree in a blender with the white rum. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and reserve.*

For blue syrup: Combine remaining syrup, lime juice, and curacao. Stir to combine completely. Chill syrups until ready to serve.

To make ice: Use a snow cone machine or blend ice in a blender (you may have to do this in batches, keeping each batch in the freezer as you make the next one.)

Scoop crushed ice into glasses, then squirt syrups over packed, crushed ice and enjoy!
*For a more intense red color, add a drop or two of red food coloring.
