6 Underrated Frozen Cocktails to Sip on This Summer

Frosé sadly tends to crowd out all other wine-based beverages in the frozen drink world, but don’t sleep on Frosecco. Prosecco pairs up with St-Germain and lemon juice to make a fully realized cocktail that’s sure to get you to stop thinking pink.

The cocktail equivalent of a 2000s Girl Talk track, the Miami Vice layers a Strawberry Daiquiri on top of a Piña Colada. While the layered cocktails are a feast for the eyes, don’t let the drink languish in the sun, or else it’ll melt into a monochromatic mess. But don’t drink so fast you get brain freeze either.

If you don’t have a bottle of Rumchata stashed away in a cupboard somewhere, what are you even doing with your summer? The rum-horchata blend seems gimmicky, but it’s way more versatile than you imagine, delightful in everything from a Rumchata-cran to this spiked milkshake.

The Beachcomber dates back to the dawn of tiki and the early days of the blender. It doesn’t have the same cachet as, say, a Mai Tai or a Zombie, but that will just make you seem extra knowledgeable when you drink one. And you probably already have all the ingredients on hand to make it, unlike most tiki drinks.

A classy looking tiki drink if ever there was one, this slushie is minty and sweet. It’s also relatively low in alcohol, so you can sip a few on a hot summer day.

If you’d rather not turn down with the low-ABV Missionary’s Downfall, turn up with some Rocket Fuel instead. You essentially make a Piña Colada and then pour 151 down the straw. The method takes a little practice, but with a speed pour and enough practice, you should be able to master it by the end of summer.
