A frozen Bee’s Knees has helped to keep this dimly lit dive buzzing with people since summer 2014, and every regular would feel the sting if owner Billy Hankey ever took the signature drink off the menu.

This eclectic urban winery moved to a much larger location in East Austin earlier this year, but a couple of key elements haven’t changed. It’s got even more graffiti art on the walls, and it’s still making all the same wines — including a so-called wine slushy. Somehow, Infinite Monkey Theorem’s canned rosé, canned riesling, canned red and Camp Cider can all come together in a frozen mixture that is simply divine.

The other essential summer sipper is a spritz — it’s low in alcohol and comes with bubbles. So this airy Italian restaurant had the brilliant idea to combine the two this spring and introduced a frozen Aperol Spritz with the same ingredients as its Il Brutto Spritz (Aperol, bubbles and orange). Does the frozen version lose the appeal of the fizz because it’s been blended with ice? Surprisingly, not at all.

The all-day cafe and restaurant is a real looker, thanks to what you might call a “desert modern” aesthetic especially present on the long, succulent-dotted patio. Hank’s has the substance to back up all that style, with a pretty-in-pink frozen paloma featuring tequila, grapefruit juice, soda and lime. It goes down a little too easily even when it’s not $5 during happy hour.

Many of Austin Eastciders’ flavored ciders are widely available, but come to the Collaboratory for a taste of taproom-only options like a cider slushy. Currently made with the Watermelon Cider, it’s served in the actual can, sans lid, and features the addition of white port in part to raise the alcohol level. Yes, please.

Frosé caught on as rosé skyrocketed in popularity, but not all frosé — as with so many things in life — is created equal. In the Lakeline area, this date-night spot offers the Foxhole Frosé, with rosé, lemon, basil and strawberry, which you might find tastier than nearly all the rest.

Keep it simple. Keep it safe. You can count on the former Poodle Dog Lounge to offer a laid-back good time and also to have some kind of rotating frozen cocktail on special, such as this summer’s frozen Bee’s Knees with Ford’s Gin, fresh lemon and honey.

Throw a stone anywhere in Austin and, depending on your arm, it’ll likely land near a place that sells frozen margaritas. But the Manuel’s version (so easy, so frosty) exemplifies how blanco tequila, orange liqueur and lime juice made margaritas so beloved in Texas in the first place. Manuel’s has two locations; although the downtown one (310 Congress Ave.) is perfectly nice, the Arboretum restaurant has an outdoor patio so pretty you might not even notice the summer heat.

The credo of Oasthouse and its sister bar, District, is to create a culinary program that changes with the seasons — something the bar program does, too. A frozen margarita is available always, but another frozen option rotates as the temperature changes. For summer, the icy offering is Ain’t It Frosty, with Tito’s Vodka, cucumber water, lime and simple syrup. In other words, it’s what you wish they’d offer at the spa.
