Once derided, espresso martinis have been making a comeback. The new coffee shop and cocktail bar just north of Ben White Boulevard has put a particularly Austin spin on this one by tipping vanilla vodka, coffee liqueur and Austin Roasting Co. espresso into a frozen machine. The result will both cool you down and pick you up after a long, hot summer day.

Drinking the urban whiskey distillery’s newly released bourbon might not be the most refreshing option; instead, turn to the frozen strawberry lemonade featuring Still’s new make whiskey infused with strawberry and thyme.

The latest dive bar with a giant outdoor space to open in far South Austin has a little bit of everything in the way of drinks. Frozen Coke can be spiked with airplane bottles of booze such as Jack Daniel’s and Fernet, for instance. Other options include the dairy-free Frochata, a perfect summer dessert.

From the minds behind Uchi and Franklin Barbecue, the Asian smokehouse tends to draw attention for its food. But don’t overlook the drinks, especially not the canary-yellow, Instagram-ready Mango Sake slushy.

This dive in far South Austin might not look like much from the outside, but that’s how the Little Darlin’ lures you in. You might become a regular, not just for the food, but for the frozen cocktail, which rotates often and might be different from visit to visit.

Open again after a late-night kitchen fire in March, the downtown restaurant doesn’t offer what you’d think of as traditional frozen cocktails. Swift’s Attic’s handful of “ice ball” cocktails feature a couple of ounces of liquor in a glass otherwise consumed by a giant globe of ice containing the rest of the ingredients. As it melts, the full flavors of the drink (such as the Strawberry Fields, with a vodka and sparkling wine base) develop sip by sip.

With a pool party-like atmosphere, the outdoor pool and lounge area at the Westin Austin will give you a rowdy good time, as well as hard-to-beat downtown views. Gaze at the owl-shaped Frost Bank Tower while you drink boozy delights like the Raspberry F’rosé with Wheatley vodka, peach, raspberry and sparkling rosé.

The casual sibling eatery of Barley Swine and Odd Duck has an enormous patio that clearly calls for a frozen drink. To that end, order the frozen margarita with a special twist. It’s worth dropping $2 extra for a swirl of any of its draft cocktails in the margarita, such as the gin-centric Summer in Greece.

Brightened by multicolored walls, Last Straw intends to be your vacation from everyday life and will help take you there through a variety of tropical cocktails — four of them frozen. Order the Miami Vice, which combines the piña colada with a strawberry daiquiri and serves that pink-and-white swirl of booze and ice in an actual pineapple.

You might drive past this little mezcal bar while you’re looking for it, but double back for your agave fix, and also tacos. The cantina’s frozen Jamaica Y Mezcal with Kimo Sabe mezcal, housemade hibiscus syrup, lime and triple sec is fruity, smoky and delicious.
