Jim-Jim's "Famous" Water-Ice

Jim-Jim's is a little slice of icy heaven, an Austin institution that purveys the ultimate frozen treat. If a frozen virgin margarita and a fruit smoothie could reproduce, they might create something close to this oxymoronically named "water ice." If it's not really famous, it should be. Do yourself a favor and try the strawberry lemonade; it will seriously put a dent in your sno-cone loyalty.

Jim-Jim's Water-Ice, 615-A E. Sixth, 708-8285; concession carts at Deep Eddy Pool, Zilker Park, and at the Downtown and Triangle Austin Farmers' Markets
