Did you see the snow cone pool party I planned for my Elle's 5th birthday? The snow cone station was the highlight of the party but the only snow cone syrup the rental company had to sell me was in industrial sized ugly white jugs and cost entirely too much for just one flavor... I definitely had to tackle this project myself! I started with some neat bottles I picked up at Marshalls. In their first life, they were expensive bottled water glass bottles. Next I found pour spouts at the liquor store and had to clip the rubber stopper just a bit so they would fit in the neck of the bottles. Now for the syrups!
2 cups white sugar
1 cup water
1 envelope Kool Aid
In a saucepan, stir together the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, and boil for about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and stir in the drink mix. Allow to cool, and store in a container for pouring.
To finish them up I printed and stuck little round labels with the flavor names on the bottles with double sided tape. These snow cone syrups were so easy to make and looked so pretty I just kept trying out new flavors until we had an entire rainbow!

AND....they aren't full of high fructose corn syrup. Great idea!
