Nothing says “Mardi Gras” like a Hurricane, and this Hurricane Snow Cone gives you all those fruity, wonderful flavors
On ice!
“And why would I want my Hurricane in the form of a snow cone?”, you ask.
Here’s why!
A delicious Hurricane Recipe served with Shaved or Crushed Ice
A traditional Hurricane is made with Orange Juice, which is really delicious but also pretty high in sugar and calories.
In contrast, this Hurricane Snow Cone is made with Sparkling Ice (Orange Mango flavored – YUM!) AND served over shaved ice.
So if you are watching your weight, you’ll be happy to know that these Hurricane Snow Cones work out to only about 186 per drink.
Served in one of those big Hurricane glasses, of course!
But wait – there’s more!
The kids will love these, too, and it’s so easy to make them kid-friendly.
Just leave the rum out.
Simple as that.
So your whole family can happily enjoy these delicious fruity drinks for Mardi Gras – or on a hot summer day.
These Hurricane Snow Cones are so delicious, you’re sure to want them more than once a year!
Hurricane Snow Cone
Enjoy a delicious Hurricane Snow Cone for Mardi Gras!
Because we’re making this drink with Sparkling Ice rather than orange juice, you’re able to reduce a bit of your Fat Tuesday calorie intake.
A traditional hurricane has a lot of orange juice in the recipe, but ours only has 186 calories per drink.
So you’re able to shave off a lot of calories using this version rather than the classic hurricane recipe.
Thank you to our friends at Sparkling Ice for sharing their recipe and photo with us.

A low-calorie shaved ice cocktail
We mentioned above that this shaved ice alcoholic drink only has 186 calories.
Say what!?!?
That’s right, you can indulge in one of these yummy frozen drinks without busting your daily calories.
One of the reasons for this is that we’re making the drink with zero calorie Sparkling Ice rather than using hurricane snow cone syrup.
A lot of snow cone syrups have a lot of calories, so you’re really able to drop the calories making it this way.
And of course, if you’re enjoying the drink without the alcohol, you have a drink that’s around only 50 calories per serving.

How to make the Hurricane Snow Cone
Squeeze juice from half a lime into cocktail shaker over crushed ice.
Pour the rum and passion fruit juice into the shaker and shake gently before pouring into your glass.

How to serve a frozen hurricane in a snow cone cup
There’s just something so refreshing about shaved ice cocktails.
We’ve served our frozen hurricane in a proper hurricane glass so you can see how it looks.
But of course, you can serve it like an actual snow cone.
To serve in a paper cone, first add your crushed ice, then mix the drink in the shaker and pour over the ice.
Top with the grenadine for the final step.
