Cherimoya and Lemon Frozen Daiquiris

Serve a cocktail made from cherimoya, a tropical fruit with a rich, citrusy flavor. The creaminess of the cherimoya and the light sweetness of the white rum complement the zesty lemonade concentrate. For added flavor and flair, dip the rim of the glass in lemonade concentrate and then dredge in coarse sugar.

Sparkling Peach Splash

If you usually order a Bellini to cool off during the summer, you're sure to love this peach schnapps-infused cousin of the popular drink. Blend peaches with schnapps and lime juice, then let freeze for about an hour until it has a slushy consistency. Mix with Champagne and serve.

Porter Float

Make a simple adults-only float using vanilla ice cream, creamy porter or stout, and a flavorful garnish of fresh raspberries and mint sprigs. Enjoy with a spoon, or take it out by the pool with you and let it thaw into a melty dessert drink.

Mango-Mint-Rum Slush

Freeze chopped mango, then blend with ice, mango nectar, white rum, lime juice, sugar, and fresh mint for a minty sweet cocktail with just the slightest hint of pucker from the lime juice. It's best to serve immediately, so keep spare frozen mango in the freezer to whip up extra batches in a hurry.
