Warm weather is all about frozen cocktails! Here are our best frozen alcoholic drinks with something for everyone, from frozen margaritas to daiquiris.

Frozen alcoholic drinks

Once the weather gets warm, what’s more fun than whizzing up some frozen alcoholic drinks? Something about frozen cocktails makes any occasion more celebratory and carefree. We love having friends for dinner on the patio with frozen margaritas, or watching our kiddo run through the sprinkler as we sip frozen sangria. We’ve shared strawberry daiquiris with family, or frosty frozen mojitos with friends as the sun sets.

We hope these frozen alcoholic drinks recipes will inspire you to make memories of your own (and drink responsibly, of course!). They’d be perfect drink recipes for 4th of July, bachelorette parties, girls weekends, pool parties, and weekends at the cabin. Are you ready?

A few tips for frozen alcoholic drinks

Before we start, here are a few tips for making these frozen alcoholic drinks:

  • Think ahead! For some of these frozen alcoholic drinks, you’ll have to think ahead. Several of the recipes below require freezing things the night before: sometimes the entire drink mix, sometimes just a component of it. Below, we’ve noted with a “Tip” when you need freeze things in advance.
  • Use best quality alcohol. It might go without saying, but the better the alcohol, the better the drink! Our frozen margaritas taste good with an average tequila, but they taste great with a high quality tequila. If you’re wondering whether to spend a few more dollars in the alcohol department, we’d recommend it.

Frozen sangria

Frozen Sangria!


  • Author: Sonja Overhiser
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 0 minutes
  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 6 drinks 1x

Description

One of the best frozen alcoholic drinks? Frozen sangria! It’s sure to be a favorite: it’s wine-forward and just sweet enough, with a hint of citrus. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces (3 large or 4 to 6 small) clementine oranges, frozen (see below*)
  • 10 ounces frozen mixed berries
  • 2 cups dry red wine (we used Rioja Tempranillo)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
  • 1 orange, cut into slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. The night before serving: Peel and section the clementine oranges and pop them in the freezer. 
  2. The day of serving: Blend together the frozen clementine oranges with the berries, red wine, and honey, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. 
  3. Serve in glasses garnished with orange slices. Best served immediately. (If you do have leftovers you can freeze for a few hours, but the texture becomes thicker. We don’t recommend freezing overnight: so plan on making a batch right when you plan to serve it!)
