Local frozen treats for grown-ups
No summertime sadness here. If you miss the frozen poolside slushies, ice cream cones and shakes of your childhood (ah, the memories!), harken back to the glory days with an added adult spin via these booze-forward bevs and desserts that’ll have you feeling cool in the best way.
Boozy Shakes | MoJoe’s
These spirited shakes will definitely bring all the boys (and girls!) to the yard—from the coffee liqueur and Irish cream-fused Mudslide to the Reese’s Skrewball Shake’s star-studded blend of Skrewball whiskey and Reese’s to the orange and whipped vodka-based Orange Creamsicle sipper—all of which have us chanting “damn right, it’s better than yours.” mojoesburgerjoint.com
Boozy Slushies | Standard Beer + Food
One frozen sip on Standard’s sun-drenched backyard patio and you’ll forget you’re not at the beach. Pick your potion from the vibey tropical painkiller (Goslings dark rum, orange, pineapple, coconut and fresh nutmeg) or the frosty dry-hopped twist on the classic G&T. standardbeerandfood.com
Frozen Frog | Wolfe & Porter
A swig of this frozen elderflower French 75 and you’ll be channeling Kristen Wiig’s iconic “oh, that’s fresh” (Bridesmaids fans know). Sweet, vibrant and screaming summertime, the sipper is just 8 bucks on Fridays—weekending for the win! wolfeandporter.com
Spiked Shakes | The Cowfish
Fusion isn’t just for the food—and it’s in full force with these seriously craveable boozy shakes. Savor summer with the Smirnoff vanilla vodka-spiked Peanut Butter Nana Time or go all in with the No Sleep Til Brooklyn—basically an espresso tini on steroids with Myers’s dark rum, Kahlua, malt, concentrated coffee and chocolate espresso beans. thecowfish.com
Frosé + Starry Eyes Frozen Paloma | Trophy Brewing
Frosé all day is back via Trophy’s fan-fave frosé at its Morgan Street and Maywood stomping grounds—just begging to be matched with a must-have ’za for a lingering alfresco hang. Not in the, ahem, spirit? Soak up some summer on Morgan Street with a Starry Eyes THC seltzer-based frozen paloma. trophybrewing.com
Boozy Shakes | Alamo Drafthouse
Ditch the popcorn (or go all out with both) for the too-cool-for-school movie theater’s spiked milkshakes, from The Grasshopper’s blend of Arrow crème de menthe and crème de cacao to the Whiskey Banana Split’s boozy-meets-fruity concoction of Wild Turkey Longbranch bourbon, Liber & Co. pineapple, dark chocolate, roasted banana and strawberry purée. So chill, indeed. drafthouse.com
