Crushed Ice, No Fancy Freezer Required
If you love crushed ice; whether in a frosty margarita or a cool soft drink, or as the base for a delicious made-at-home snow cone, you can get crushed ice without buying an entirely new refrigerator and freezer with a built-in ice crusher.

They come in a wide range of varieties and styles, though, so you’ll want to shop around. Here are four options to start with, all available on Amazon.
