Customer questions about this product

Do I need to keep this product refrigerated? Or refrigerate after opening?

No, this product does not require refrigeration.

How can I get the best results with this water ice base?

For the best results, shake water ice bases well before use to ensure contents are properly mixed before serving.

What is the difference between an Italian ice, a slushy, and a snow cone?

An Italian ice, also known as a water ice, is very smooth and its flavoring is mixed into the ice before or during freezing. A slushy, also known as an Icee or granita, typically comes in icy liquid form, and the flavor is added before the freezing process.

For a crunchier product, snow cones use larger, shaved ice, that is generally flavored at the point of sale.
