We'll go over common questions below to help you choose the best snow cone flavors for your business.

Common Questions About Snow Cone Syrup

Should I get pre-measured snow cone concentrate?

Snow cone flavors can come in bulk bottles or pre-measured concentrate. If you choose the pre-measured concentrate, it must be mixed with large amounts of sugar and water to make a usable syrup, which will then produce a similar color and flavor as premade syrups. This can be a cost-efficient way to utilize multiple gallons of syrup but adds an extra step to the process. Operators will have to either mix the syrup at the stand or mix it beforehand and bring the mixture to the stand. These extra steps might be offset by the lower total cost per cone, but that depends on how easy it'll be for you to reconstitute the syrup before using it.

Are any sugar-free syrups available?

KaTom carries some sugar-free snow cone syrups, which can expand your menu and potential customer base because customers with dietary or sugar intake restrictions will be able to find something appealing. You'll have to be careful about using the right syrups. If you have one that's cherry and one that's sugar-free cherry, getting them mixed up could cause a customer real trouble – especially in the case of diabetics or other medically sensitive persons. Color-coded lids can help operators choose the right type of syrup at a glance, as can large, bright labels. If you're reusing a dispenser, make sure you clean it thoroughly if you're changing between regular and sugar-free snow cone juice.

Does the color of the snow cone syrup matter?

A variety of bright colors can drive sales, as the popularity of the blue raspberry flavor shows. Raspberries aren't blue, and there isn't really such a fruit as a blue raspberry, but the bright blue color differentiates this flavor from the sea of red berry flavors. Having various colors also enables the operator to distinguish flavors easily, improving the accuracy of your service. Almost all snow cone syrups are going to be brightly colored as color makes snow cones unique compared to other snacks. Choose an array of flavors that have dissimilar colors to make attractive mixes and displays that will help merchandise your products.
