Few things capture the taste of summer better than watermelon, and many mark enjoyable evenings with margaritas. Living Locurto has merged the refreshing flavor of watermelon with the chilling deliciousness of a margarita in these frozen watermelon margaritas.

Fruits typically take center stage in summer cocktails, but if you favor minty chocolate, Worth Whisking’s frozen grasshopper cocktail is for you. The mintiness comes from crème de methe. A splash of crème de cacao and chocolate sprinkles rimming the glass makes this a chocolatey drink that is exclusively for adults.

Gimme Some Oven shows a shortcut to making a two-minute frozen sangria. You need a bag of berries in your freezer and a couple of other ingredients to make this recipe in as much time as it takes to ask, “Do you want a drink?”
