Where to drink frozen cocktails in Atlanta

Explore Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar

Beverage manager Jose Pereiro is on trend with his oft-ordered fr osé cocktail. The frozen concoction is what happens when r osé meets a slushie machine. While frosé may be THE drink of the summer both in Atlanta and around the U.S., it's Pereiro's spin on the rum-based classic Cuba Libre made with white rum, Atlanta's own Coca-Cola, Angostura bitters and fresh lime juice that's likely to turn the heads of cocktail lovers when it debuts this weekend at the Marietta fish house in East Cobb.

The Painted Pin

Said to have been created somewhere around 1941 as a marketing ploy by vodka giant Smirnoff and Los Angeles pub Cock n’ Bull, the Moscow Mule is credited for catapulting vodka and vodka-based cocktails onto American bar menus. Made with spicy ginger beer, vodka and lime (often served in the iconic copper cup,) Buckhead bowling lounge The Painted Pin gives its guests the option of ordering the refreshing classic as intended or in slushie form.

Grain Bar

Grain’s cocktail program is the carefully crafted creation of beverage director Jonathan Turner who loves to mix his drinks with equal parts sarcasm, the classics and science. The small but mighty bar located in the heart of Midtown on West Peachtree has recently updated their cocktail menu for the summer which, of course, includes frosé. But Turner gets cheeky and old school with the Orange Jubilee slushie made with MD 20/20 orange jubilee and High West bourbon.
