Make snow cone syrup at home with the same bold flavors you already love.

Start with the classics people search for most, like tiger's blood, grape, cherry and blue raspberry, then branch out into bubble gum, lemon, watermelon, pina colada and tropical fruit.

A small bottle goes a long way, so one purchase makes batch after batch of syrup for parties, fundraisers, birthdays or a hot afternoon on the porch. Mixing your own also means you control the sugar. Use a classic simple syrup, or build a sugar free base with the sweetener you prefer. Add a few drops of food coloring if you want that bright look, or skip it. How to Make Snow Cone Syrup You need: granulated sugar, water, your favorite flavor from this page, food coloring (optional) and a clean squeeze bottle like our PET bullet bottles, available in 120ml and 250ml sizes. Add equal parts sugar and water to a saucepan, for example 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. This makes about 1 1/2 cups of syrup. Heat and stir until the sugar fully dissolves. Take the pan off the heat and let the syrup cool. Stir in your flavor at 0.25% to 1% of the syrup, depending on the flavor. Always start with a few drops at a time to gauge the strength (see our tip below on how to test). Add a few drops of food coloring if you like. Pour into a squeeze bottle and drizzle over shaved ice. Taste and adjust. Add more flavor a little at a time until it tastes right to you. Try Ultimate Sweet Strawberry Tip: How to Test the Strength A good way to gauge the strength and create the best experience is to test a small amount first. This gives you a more refined way to create your perfect recipe. Fill a glass with 4 oz of water and sweeten it to taste. Start with about 3 drops, which is where you can begin to taste many flavors. Keep adding one drop at a time, tasting between each drop. Once it tastes just right, scale that amount up for your full batch of syrup. As a guide, one drop in 4 oz is about 0.05%, and most flavors land between 6 and 24 drops. Drop size can vary with the bottle tip, so always trust your taste. Sugar Free Snow Cones Make the base with your favorite sugar free sweetener and water instead of sugar, then add flavor and color the same way.
