Must-Serve Frozen Drinks

Take your traditional cosmo to the next level with this icy, ruby-red cocktail recipe.

Brandy Shakes, made from high-quality vanilla ice cream and brandy, are a super simple way to cool down and relax on hot summer afternoons.

Ring in summer by combining all the fun flavors of the season. Midori (melon-flavored liqueur) and Cream of Coconut add a taste of the tropics to the pineapple concoction. Use green kiwi for a tangy flavor, or substitute golden kiwi for a sweeter taste.

Make a sweet-tart summer favorite with fresh berries. Follow the advice of one of our online reviewers and freeze peak-season strawberries to enjoy this festive beverage year-round.

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.

Update the classic Cuban cocktail by adding watermelon to the ingredients list. It gives the drink a ruby glow and adds an extra helping of summer flavor to the drink menu.

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.

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.

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.

Bring the flavor of the Caribbean to your back porch with a banana-flavored drink infused with sweet-and-sour cocktail mix and orange juice concentrate. The creamy cocktail is part dessert, part heaven in a glass.

Serve this festive drink at an early afternoon barbecue. Frozen pink lemonade concentrate gives the drink its color and its sweet-tart flavor base. Add vodka, water, and ripe peaches for extra sweetness, then process with crushed ice.
