The evening air is getting a little cooler, and the countdown to Labor Day is on. How better to celebrate the last days of summer than with a childhood throwback ... with a twist. Toscanos Café and Wine Bar in Puyallup is serving up adult snow cones every Wednesday after 5 p.m. in August.  

What constitutes an adult snow cone? Choose from raspberry, peach, mango, pina colada or pomegranate and add your favorite premium spirit for $9.95.  Think raspberry shaved ice with vodka, or mango and tequila. 

"My favorite Toscanos shaved ice has to be pina colada because it gives you that Hawaii beach feel with an added bonus of a buzz," says bartender Lee Zander-Conn.

Toscanos being the classy place it is, the boozy snow cones are served in a martini glass.

Since this is the last week of August, no pressure - that means it's your last chance this Wednesday to sit at a bar and eat a cocktail with a spoon. I can assure you, this is the only case that would be appropriate.
