There comes a point every Atlanta summer when a regular cocktail simply isn't cold enough. You know the day. It's 94 degrees. The humidity has entered the chat. You've been walking the Atlanta Beltline for approximately seven minutes and are already sweating.
This is a job for a frozen cocktail.
Luckily, the Beltline has plenty of them. And we're not just talking about your standard frozen margarita.
The Nostalgic: Yoo-hoo Espresso Martini at Ladybird
Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall's frozen take on the espresso martini combines two things that really shouldn't make as much sense together as they do: childhood chocolate milk nostalgia and a very adult need for caffeine and cocktails. Basically, it's a Yoo-hoo that grew up, got a job, and moved to the Beltline.
The Wild Card: Whatever is Frozen at Breaker Breaker
Breaker Breaker understands an important truth about Atlanta summers: the frozen drink machine should always be running. Their frozen cocktails rotate, which means this stop comes with a little mystery. Grab whatever they have spinning and enjoy it on the patio overlooking the Atlanta Beltline.
The Dessert: Ice Cream Cocktails at Lingering Shade
There are days when choosing between a cocktail and dessert feels unnecessarily restrictive. Lingering Shade Social Club gets it. Their boozy ice cream creations are the kind of drink you order when you've officially abandoned any idea that your Beltline walk was supposed to count as exercise. No regrets.
The Vacation: Frozen Margaritas at CHIRINGA
CHIRINGA's whole vibe is coastal vacation and if you're going to drink a frozen margarita, you might as well do it somewhere that feels like you've escaped to the beach. Grab one of their flavored margs and pretend the Beltline is a boardwalk.
The Overachiever: Soft Serve Margarita at Rreal Tacos
Rreal Tacos decided a frozen margarita wasn't frozen enough and turned it into soft serve. It's basically begging to be ordered on a 90 degree Beltline day, and we fully support this level of commitment to beating the Atlanta heat.
Atlanta Is Hot. Act Accordingly.
You can either spend the rest of summer hiding inside with the AC... or you could accept that Atlanta will remain approximately the temperature of the sun for another month and start working your way through this list.
