ZaRex was a good drink...much better than the competition, and if it was too sweet you needed to adjust it to your taste (just like food). It was always a great base for a fruit punch or a flavor to spice up any drink or food that needed that particular flavor. In mixed drinks (alcoholic or not) trained barkeeps like it the best because it is naturally flavored and lacked a chemical aftertaste that all of the rest have.
As far as sno-cones (shaved ice in a cup with syrup over it...the best!
If you do not mind a suggestion, I think you need to revisit and adjust the mix to your liking, every food and spice (add to taste) has its' place; if you keep an open mind we may even get you to taste Moxie again (this time, try it with vanilla bean ice-cream in a float...yum!).
ZaRex was meant as a base or syrup but it could be mixed to drink, but like any good base it is so much better with the additions(have you ever eaten lobster all by its self...wow..good example!).
Well...you work on that, and I think your world will be soooo expanded; and like mom always said,"you're not leaving the table until you at least try it" she made things for your pleasure also, as again ZaRex is there for you again...be a good chef, and adjust!
