snowcone

Icy carnival treat

A snowcone is a frozen treat made of finely shaved or crushed ice shaped into a cone and doused with flavored syrup, typically fruit-flavored and brightly colored.

Snowcones are classic summer fare, sold at fairs, carnivals, and from street vendors.

The texture is coarser and icier than a snow cone's close relative, the slushy or Italian ice.

We got snowcones at the baseball game.
