3 bars for frozen drinks

There are more frozen drink options out there than margaritas and daiquiris. Here are a few creative frozen libations.

1. Frozen Grasshopper

Find it: Gino’s, 2809 Sixth Ave.

An after-dinner drink that doubles as dessert thanks to a heaping helping of mint ice cream. The alcohol comes from creme de menthe (which gives it the greenish color) and creme de cacao. $6

2. Rum runner

Find it: Mullet’s, 1300 S.E. First St.

A frozen cocktail made with both light and dark rums, blackberry brandy, creme de banana, sour and grenadine, which gives the drink a light pink color. It’s the perfect drink for sipping on Mullet’s patio on a hot summer day. $6.

3. Chocolate Covered Cherry

Find it: Chef’s Kitchen, 1903 Beaver Ave.

Chef’s kitchen in Beaverdale has a whole menu of exotic ice cream drinks. The Chocolate Covered Cherry is made with Godiva white chocolate, cherry brandy and creme de cacao. The result is like a little sundae, but with a bit of oomph to it. $6.
