Summer is n’t letting up anytime soon . This is all too evident when we walk alfresco and immediately sweat through whatever clothes we thought would keep us cool . And lease ’s be honest , there ’s only so much body of water to drink before we decide we demand something a bit more saporous … with the ability to unhinge our mind from the blistering heat . Cue Atlanta ’s best alcoholic slushies .
Alcoholic poptails
King of Pops
King of Pops took its delicious lolly to another level with its cocktail popsicles – aka poptails – sold at their Ponce City Market placement . Surprisingly novel , each poptail is exalt by old King of Pops ’ flavors and comes complete with a popsicle in the cup . Flavors graze from Citrus paradisi - orange tree bloom paloma , raspberry - lime margarita , and our pet : orange basil bourbon , made with orange , bourbon , Basil the Great simple syrup , lemon yellow , and freshly chop sweet basil .
The Jack & Coke Slushie
Victory Sandwich Bar
Nothing pairs better with Victory ’s Hambo sandwich than its Jack & Coke Slushie . It ’s the idealistic way to enjoy the patio in the summer , whether you ’re an Inman Park regular or prefer the Decatur location . Perfectly blended , with just the right-hand amount of spirits , the slushie is incredibly addicting , though it WILL knock you down if you ’re not careful .
Meghan Royale
The Luminary
For the wine aficionados , rosé is the easy choice for summer imbibition . It ’s light , a little sweet , and bubbly enough to keep us from disappear in the heating system . The Luminary consider it a step further with the Meghan Royale , a rosé slushie cocktail which is – at this point – match the wheel in its level of genius . The drunkenness ’s made with Aperol , lemon , a strawberry mark - balsamic gastrique , and a Champagne muscae volitantes , and number in a wine-coloured glassful … so , you acknowledge , you may still drink with your pinky out .
Spiked Slushy
D.B.A. Barbecue
D.B.A. ’s selection of spiked slushies is heroic to say the least . The rotating roster takes us back to a puerility full of 7 - Eleven Big Gulps and the wild assortment of feel you could conflate together . serve in a Mason jar , the mix let in a spiked root beer slushy ( which is great ) , and the crew favorite – an icy blueberry moonshine lemonade . rate yourself one of those plus a pile of BBQ and you ’ll forget you wait like you took a exhibitor fully clothed .
