Ice, Ice Baby

Product: Luigi’s Real Italian Ice (Cherry)

Description: A six-pack of 6-ounce cups filled with shaved ice and flavored with cherry juice from concentrate. Sucrose and corn syrups are also added. Each cup contains 100 calories.

Preparation summary: Keep frozen until ready to eat.

High points: This isn’t your average hard-packed H20 shaved from ice cubes with intense syrups poured over it. We’re instead talking about snowy fluff infused evenly with fruit flavor—just like what some paesano named Luigi might peddle at an Italian Heritage festival in August. But even if it’s Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception in December, you won’t mind spooning into these little, cold cups while donning fuzzy slippers.

Low points: It stains your tongue vampire-red for about 30 minutes.

Average Retail Price: $4.39

Availability: Major grocery stores, Amazon Fresh, InstaCart, Shipt, and Peapod
