There's also the question of whether the snow cone machine will shave the cubes; the colder the material, the harder it is.

Thank you for giving such clear and safe instructions. I want to make snow cones out of frozen vodka, but it seems like that would be a bad idea as you said not to ingest the frozen vodka. Do you think if the vodka cubes were shaved in a snow cone machine and then I poured the required syrup on top that this would work or be safe to consume? Thanks! Lia Hi!
