Attention CA Residents:

Customer questions about this product

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.

Flavor:
Mint

This is one of the worst Italian ice bases. It straight-up tastes like the worst version of mint mouth wash. Absolutely DO NOT recommend.

Thank you for the review! We’re sorry this Italian ice base is not working for your needs. We suggest trying this I. Rice 1 Gallon Mint Water Ice Base instead.
