Ah…there’s nothing like a cold, refreshing slushy on a hot summer day. Bring back sweet memories with classic flavors from childhood, or try something new and savor your favorite adult beverage transformed into a frozen treat. Check out these five local spots to satisfy all your summer slushy cravings.
1. Taste the Tropics.
Feel like you’re on vacation with a slushy made from tangy pineapple and malt base alcohol right from the brewery. For berry fans, try the mixed berry sangria slushy made with vodka, rum and rosé wine. Chill out at the bar, or go for takeout/delivery and relax in your own backyard.

2. Silver Screen Classic.
Sit back and sip the original. In 1958, Omar Knedlik invented the ICEE by putting soda bottles in a freezer. Choose from three iconic flavors: blue raspberry, cherry and Coke. For a delicious movie watching experience, pair your ICEE with hot, fresh popcorn or a Fox Kitchen Burger and fries.
