This is it, the moment you have been waiting for: Summer! And what’s summer without an adult get-together with your friends? And of course, those amazing summer drinks. Let’s explore some fun frozen cocktails!
Use this glass!
Margarita (Frozen)
Here is blended version of the original
Lime Margarita. This version has a nice, light, sour lime taste but there are many more
variations with almost any flavor you may want. If the mix is too thick once blended, add more juice: if it’s too thin, add more ice.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of ice
- 1 1/2 oz tequila
- 1/2 oz Triple Sec
- 1/2 oz lime juice
- 3 oz sour mix
- lime wedge for garnish
- salt for rimming glass (optional)
Preparation:
Rock Lobster
There are a few different cocktails that use the name Rock Lobster, this one happens to be my favorite. It is a tropical blend of
rums with the flavors of banana, pomegranate, coconut and orange and is delicious summer treat. Frozen drinks that are this fruity are best made with fresh pineapple and orange juices and
homemade grenadine.

A pineapple and coconut delight for hot days, the Chi-Chi is a wonderful tropical frozen cocktail that is something a little different than the averageMargarita. A reader is also looking for a Chi-Chi recipe that was popular in the 70’s and 80’s that involves freezing the main mix overnight and adding 7-Up. If you know this recipe, please share it with us at the forum.
