Zamboni, Snow Cone Cocktail? Yep! You heard that right! Have you ever felt that hockey fans are put in the penalty box when it comes to tailgating or game watch parties? Same! That’s why we wanted to create a fun, icy treat for our hockey-loving fans. While creating this cocktail, an homage to the snow cone, it was nearly impossible not to recall those brightly-colored cones from our childhood. Those sugary, syurpy sweet treats were a way to cool us down in the summer and treat our sweet tooth. In order to truly recreate the whimsical treats from our youth, it was a goal to include bright, vibrant color. Save your cheap shot on our liquor selection! We chose to modify the classic Blue Lagoon cocktail, invented by Andy MacElhone at the famous Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, to serve as our Zamboni Snow Cone Cocktail flavoring.
