With another hot summer on the horizon, Hawaii locals are looking for new ways to cool off. One way you may not have tried yet is with an alcoholic shave ice. These delicacies come flavored with an alcohol of your choice and are perfect summer delights. 

3 Reasons to Enjoy Alcoholic Shave Ice

1. Cool Off

Alcoholic shave ice offers a way to enjoy a delicious treat while cooling off at the same time, which is especially convenient if you’re already on your way to happy hour. Snacking on a cup of flavored ice will cool you down while getting you in the mood for bar games or pupus.

2. Double Your Satisfaction

When looking for refreshing options, you might be undecided between a cold drink or a refreshing dessert like ice cream. Part of the beauty of alcoholic shave ice is that it combines a drink and dessert into one. You would be right at home ordering one while sitting at the bar, but it also works as the finale to a tasty meal. 

3. Put Your Own Spin on It

The best part is customizing your creation. You start by choosing an alcoholic base such as rum, sake, or tequila, then pick out a flavored syrup. The final touch is a sprinkling of li hing powder or a drizzle of condensed milk. With all these options, it’s easy to create a treat to your taste.
