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!

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.

Ingredients you need to make a Hurricane Snow Cone

Makes 2 drinks

  • Juice of half a lime
  • 2 oz light rum
  • 2 oz dark rum

Make it a Mocktail instead

It’s super easy to make a non-alcoholic frozen hurricane.

To enjoy a virgin hurricane snow cone, simply omit the light and dark rums and add more Sparkling Ice.

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.

Top with Sparkling Ice Orange Mango.

Pour grenadine over the top so that it makes a reddish layer on top.

Strain into a hurricane glass filled with shaved ice, garnish with a cherry and orange slice.

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.

Another great mango cocktail is our sweet and spicy chili mango margarita! It’s delicious!
