Serve Adult Slushies for Fun and Profit

The global frozen cocktails market is expected to witness substantial growth driven by increasing demand for refreshing alcoholic beverages. Available formats include alcoholic popsicles and squeeze packages. But, the most popular frozen adult beverage variety is blended or slushie-style cocktails. These frozen cocktails captivate consumers with their fun and appealing nature, and they also offer operators the added benefit of being highly profitable. With the right beverage equipment, it’s possible to deliver frozen cocktails such as Cosmopolitans, Martinis, Mojitos, Sangria, and more ubiquitous drinks like frozen Margaritas and Daquiris.
Frozen adult beverages are expected to be a global trend. However, data shows that the North American market is expected to lead the way. In addition to the beverage options listed above, here are some items that can help expand any adult slushie menu.
The Best Frozen Cocktails and Adult Slushies for Your Menu
Combining the nostalgia of childhood slushies with the sophistication of adult beverages, consider adding frozen cocktails with a playful twist to any bar and beverage menu. Embrace a diverse array of flavors and spirits — but don’t forget about beer and wine — to attract new customers to your beverage program. Whether enjoyed poolside at a resort or on the patio of a beachfront hotel, adult frozen slushies provide a delightful fusion of flavor and fun for discerning drinkers looking to elevate their summer experiences. From wine-based recipes to spirited concoctions, there are hundreds of festive flavor combinations available to serve. But be sure to consider the following favorites.
Frosé
One of the best-known adult slushies, frosé means ‘frozen rosé’ wine. Perfect for hot summer days, rosé is well-known for its light and enjoyable flavor. It also pairs well with a wide range of seasonal foods. Whether blended with ice or prepared in a slush machine, rosé becomes even more perfect for summer.
Bourbon Lemonade Slush
Not just for wine lovers, frozen slushies offer a refreshing twist for bourbon enthusiasts too. Try mixing bourbon, lemonade, and a touch of mint. This classic combination, when served frozen, becomes an ideal refresher for sizzling summer days.
Moscow Mule
Mix vodka, lime juice, and ginger beer for a spicy, warming drink that is also perfect as a refresher. Serve it in a traditional Moscow Mule copper mug to make it even more special. This is a great example of how to make a refreshing drink even more refreshing.
Brandy Old Fashioned
For those who have ever been to a bar in Wisconsin, it’s easy to say, “If you know, you know” when it comes to the Brandy Old Fashioned. By substituting brandy for whisky, jazz up this traditional northern take on an Old Fashion by blending it with ice. Simply mix brandy, orange juice, bitters, and some lemon-lime soda to create a refreshing, blended version of an Old Fashioned. This updated bar favorite is sure to delight customers’ hearts.
