A week into summer and, well, things aren’t looking good. Hundred-degree days. Ninety-degree nights. Two more months of the same... So here: the five best frozen drinks for combating the heat. Bring a sweater.
What it is: A Moscow Mule (vodka, lime, ginger). Except frozen. Hence the name.
Where to drink it: The sun-drenched patio. The A/C-chilled basement. You’ve got
summer-appropriate options here.
Brain-freeze potential: We’re not gonna lie, the drink’s got a kick. Yes, that was a
mule pun. Sorry.
What it is: An icy blend of blanco tequila, grapefruit juice, prickly pear and Squirt.
Yeah, Squirt still exists.
Where to drink it: You see that sleek wooden bar where you just ordered your drink? There.
Drink it there.
Brain-freeze potential: Pretty much guaranteed. But hey, Squirt...
What it is: White peach mimosa sorbet in a glass. Topped with champagne. (You’re not a
savage.)
Where to drink it: That white two-top around the corner. Share it with someone special. The
two-top, not the drink.
Brain-freeze potential: If you use a spoon, minimal. So use a spoon. Don’t be a hero.
What it is: Part Jack. Part Coke. All slushy.
Where to drink it: On the rooftop patio directly in the sun. You’re tired of
running.
Brain-freeze potential: 100%. It’s probably for the best if you don’t fight it.
What it is: A whole lot of mango, a whole lot of mango vodka and a little bit of
Cointreau.
Where to drink it: Plan A: by a pool in Costa Rica. Plan B: in a secluded nook of this
bar.
Brain-freeze potential: Pain is temporary. Frosty mango-y refreshment is forever.
