Best Sugar Free Syrup for Shaved Ice

Of course, a sugar free syrup option is available! Want to cash in on the sugar-free, low-carb craze? You can mix your own sugar-free syrup using our Faux Sweet Sugar-Free Base Packs. If you’re accustomed to mixing your flavors from our concentrates, you’ll have no problem whipping up a batch of sugar free shaved ice syrup. Simply mix our Faux Sweet sugar free base with water and combine with your choice of our sugar free concentrate flavors.

Keep in mind that not every concentrate flavor is sugar free. Some contain small amounts of sugar while others don’t. If you’re interested in a flavor that contains sugar, you can still use the sugar free base and sell the item as a low sugar flavor. Actually, it would be nearly sugar free if it wasn’t for the small trace in the concentrate.

Below, I’ve included a list of sugar free concentrate flavors. All others on our flavor list contain sugar.

The sugar free syrup base is a powdered formula and will make 1 gallon of syrup. Simply follow the instructions on the product and add 4 ounces of flavor concentrate. I’ve also included the recipe below. Not only are they easy to make, they are delicious and refreshing!

Sugar Free Shaved Ice Syrup Recipe

In a gallon jug, add 1 quart of hot water. Pour the entire contents of a sugar-free base pack into the jug. Cap and shake vigorously for 1 minute until the solution is thoroughly mixed. Next, add cold water to fill the jug, leaving enough room for 4 ounces of concentrate. Cap the jug again and shake for 1 minute. Allow the unflavored syrup to sit for 30 minutes before flavoring. After 30 minutes, flavor with your choice of concentrate.

Now that I've explained how easy it is, go ahead and choose your flavors from the list above and get started! Some of the most popular sugar-free flavors are Wild Cherry, Grape, Strawberry, Banana, Dreamsycle and Pink Lemonade.

A pure cane sugar syrup has a pretty long shelf life when preserved. Unfortunately, the shelf life of the sugar-free solution will be shorter - generally 7 to 14 days. Consider refrigerating the syrup to extend the life by an additional week.

If you’re afraid you can’t use a full gallon of sugar-free syrup before it expires, consider dividing the powdered formula into 4 equal parts and make a quart of syrup instead. This is also a good way for you to test which flavors are more popular with your customers before mixing large batches.
