Unfortunately the show doesn't refer to them as alicorns. As far as I can tell, the use of alicorn for "winged unicorn" is more or less restricted to D&D. Historically alicorn has meant a unicorn's horn.

I wish the show would refer to them as "winged ponies" and "winged unicorns", but we're stuck with "pegasus ponies" and "pegasus unicorn ponies".
