Cherry Snow Cone

7 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup stemmed and pitted fresh sweet cherries
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons turbinado or other sugar in the raw
  • 1 small sprig mint, torn into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice or orange juice
  • 1/2 - 1 tablespoons Pernod (or Kirschwasser, for the timid)
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional)
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Directions

  1. 1
    In a mixing cup or mug, muddle the cherries, sugar, mint, lemon juice and booze until you have a nice amount of syrup.
  2. 2
    If you have a snow cone ice shaver machine that Santa brought one year, dig it out of the basement. Or in your blender, finely crush/shave the ice and quickly spoon or scoop into serving bowl, ideally a clear one so you can see all the dripping cherry goodness in about 30 seconds.
  3. 3
    Pour muddled cherry mixture, chunks and all, over ice.
  4. 4
    Add cream, if using.
  5. 5
    Add a straw and a spoon and have at it.
