Austin’s essential frozen cocktails, because sometimes you gotta think beyond the margarita.
There is never a bad time for a frozen libation, but as Austin makes the underworld look swimmingly cool this summer, a frozen cocktail is necessary for survival.
The best frozen I've ever had was Billy Hankey's version of a Cuba Libre at King Bee Lounge, which he and his wife Colette owned and operated. Hankey made his own cola syrup and mixed it with a blend of rums, water, and maybe a little lime juice. It was sublime, so simple and perfect. Hankey was a savant with the frozens and I worshiped at his altar many an evening. The Bee's Knees – I liked to get it"stung" with a floater of Ancho Reyes – was always on the menu.
Read on to find a variety of unique ice-cold quaffs beyond your ordinary margarita around town. You can't beat the heat, but you may be able to dull the pain. The Aristocrat, Brentwood's neighborhood dive bar, is the best-kept secret in Austin. There's always a frozen on rotation here, including a refreshing lemon drop this past spring.
