Hypothermias Shaved Ice and Snow Cone Syrup Unsweetened Flavor Concentrate - 4 Fl Oz - Makes 1 Gallon of Ready to Use Syrup - Pink Bubble Gum - Must Add Filtered Water and Sweetener

I’m very picky when it comes to flavors of slushies, slurpies and snow cones my three favorite flavors are blue raspberry, banana and cherry. It’s hard to find a good one that’s not just all sugar and no zing, especially frustrating when you have to order it online without knowing what it tastes like. So needless to say I was guarded but trying to be hopefully optimistic when I ordered the shaved ice banana flavor. I rarely write reviews but I felt compelled to do it for everyone who like me is a banana flavor lover and I am not just pleased with this particular banana flavor I am extremely happy!! Because this tastes perfect, it’s exactly like the banana popsicles that they sell at Walmart that I love. I purchased the smallest bottle they offered but I just ordered the gallon size and I’m sure it won’t be the last lol.

I have been using a Sparkel soda maker now for over a year. I bought several bag in a box Diet Coke, which started tasting off over a period time. Each of these boxes have cost close to $85 each time. I have found these little 4 ounce bottles as a lifesaver. I have always liked fruity sodas, but the sugary taste is terrible for me. I use these flavors by using 1 ounce to 32 ounces water and 100 packets of equal. Equal is my favorite sweetener as others leave a persistent aftertaste. The cost of 2gallons syrup cost about $17 compared to Diet Coke at $85 is phenomenal. I’m experimenting with flavors as I go. These bottles are around 8.95 compared to ordering from hypothermia.com. But thr freight is terribly high.

A True reviewThings I wish I know before I bought itUsually when you buy syrup flavors for Snow cones it's usually already sweetBut this root beer that I bought and this company like the flavoring is very sour no sweet at all Me me and my kids was not happy with the taste To make it good and delicious I add some agave But I feel like I should loom have to add anything it should come are already prepared and sweeten I should have to add anything I noticed on some reviews that some people added sugar and water since it was already in Shaved ice Are you new eventually it will get a little melted so a didn't need water to Just Some sweetener This sweetener that I use is good for drinks and things like this So for your info if you need a sweetener to add the best one will be something like this Called agave

Maybe because it is unsweetened but I almost gagged......it is in the trash now.

This brand syrups have been such a lifesaver. It’s great because you can add, however, much sugar you want. Our most favorite is the chocolate flavor. The pineapple one doesn’t really taste like pineapple. I would definitely try more flavors in the future.

Like a few other reviewers, I used this concentrate to make diet cola syrup using Splenda to use with my SodaStream. While the package says that you can simply combine the concentrate with water and sweetener, I did not like the taste at all. It was MUCH improved after preparing it like a traditional simple syrup, ie letting the mixture simmer and infuse for a few minutes after coming to a boil on the stove. I added preservatives (sodium benzoate and citric acid) so the syrup would keep longer and it has done well being stored at room temperature. However, I would recommend chilling the syrup before mixing it with sparkling water.Overall, much better tasting than SodaStram's offering for diet cola syrup and much cheaper!

Riquísimo

I bought this to make my own cola soft drinks and it works perfectly. This is seriously rich, dark concentrate and a little goes a long way. I put about 5-9 drops in a very tall glass, add a about 4 drops of lemon juice for the acidic quality of a soft drink and my liquid Stevia non-caloric sweetener and fill the glass with ice cold Selzter water and then ice to keep it good and cold. I swizzle to blend and it's ready to go, a zero calorie cola soft drink that is just great. Does it taste like Diet Coke? Nah, but it's close enough to satisfy my cola craving. I like it better than the store bought generic Cola soda pop. And mine is sugar free AND aspartame free which is awesome. Give this a try if you miss having zero calorie cola soft drinks! It works great.
