Shaved Ice for Summer Parties: The Ultimate Guide

Built for hot days

Nothing resets an overheated backyard like a bowl of shaved ice. It's light, it's refreshing, and unlike ice cream it won't turn to soup the second it leaves the freezer.

It also scales beautifully — one block of ice serves a crowd, and a topping bar keeps everyone busy and happy.

Make it effortless

Prep syrups and cut fruit the day before, keep a backup block frozen, and let guests build their own. You'll look like a hero and barely lift a finger.

Meet the cutest ice on earth 🌵

Prickly Ice is opening soon in Hawaii, Arizona, Michigan and San Diego. Every bowl is hand-shaved snow sculpted into a smiling little cactus and buried in fresh fruit.
