Snow Cones For Grown-Ups

Customers are eating up the grown-up version of a childhood favorite.

Bartenders at Deep Ellum's LaGrange are spiking snow cones with everything from whiskey to rum.

โ€œI would definitely take this over a beer any day,โ€ Chelsea Wilford said.

At $7.50 a pop, the alcoholic snow cones come in more than 20 different flavors.

โ€œWe have cherry, watermelon, banana and blue coconut,โ€ said Scott Lastowski, LaGrange manager.

Besides the basics, there's also a cherry bomb and a whackadoodle swahili.

Twisted Root Burger Company near Southern Methodist University is also hitting a sweet spot with spiked snow cones.

โ€œIt really depends on the heat,โ€ said Twisted Root manager Robbi Lewis. โ€œThe hotter it is, the more we sell.โ€

Twisted Root makes all of its syrups in house and uses only organic juices.

โ€œMy personal favorite is the jalapeno-pineapple with vodka," Lewis said. "Itโ€™s really good, and youโ€™re not going to find it anywhere else."

While the over-21 versions are the most popular, customers can also order kid-friendly versions of any of the frozen concoctions.

Other adult frozen treats that are popping up include alcohol-infused ice cream and "boozesicles," popsicles made with liquor.
