While on the rocks and neat have their place in our cocktail hours, sometimes the occasion calls for something a bit more chilly. Stray from the traditional blended margarita and experiment with sangria popsicles, gin floats, wine sorbet, and more. By the time you're done assembling your favorites, it'll be hot enough to start drinking them. Consider adding one of these creative 15 frozen cocktails to your drinking bucket list.
Watermelon Champagne: It's basically a mimosa on vacation.
Rainbow Mimosas: Colorful fruit juice ice cubes turn a straightforward mimosa into an icy, festive treat.
Piña Colada: Piña coladas are a thousand times better when blended (don't at us). This is the only version you'll need all summer long.
Boozy Sangria Popsicles: This recipe is the only way to consume sangria when it's hot out.
Cucumber Gin Slushie: Cucumber blended with plenty of ice, St. Germain, and a healthy splash of gin makes for a strong, yet refreshing summer bev.
Rosé Adult Otter Pop: We found a way to make Otter Pops adult- and Instagram-friendly.
Summer Granitas: Choose from watermelon margarita, sweet peach tea, mango mojito, blackberry elderflower, and lemon blueberry thyme.
Pineapple and Lime Slush Puppies: If you love the idea of a piña colada, but aren't that into coconut, this slush puppy has all the pineapple flavor you're looking for.
Boozy Snow Cones: These are way better (and boozier) than the snow cones you'd get from an ice cream truck.
Gin Sorbet Cocktails: If you love a citrus slice in your gin and tonics, then this lemon sorbet gin float, garnished with grapefruit, is right up your alley.
Strawberry Jalapeño Margaritas: It's never too hot out for a little bit of spice.
Wine Sorbet: There's a flavor of sorbet for every different type of wine person: red, white, or rosé.
Blue Moon Ice Cream Push Pops: Real Blue Moon beer gives these adorable, grown-up push pops a delicious, nutty, and citrusy flavor.
Spiked Mint Oreo Milkshake: This minty treat may have been invented with St. Patrick's Day in mind, but it tastes great all year long, especially for dessert.
Key Lime Margarita: For classic margarita purists, this recipe, from the Lemonade With Zest cookbook by April White, mixes it up just a little bit by using key limes.
