Raise your glass and toast the return of frozen cocktail season. In honor of the warmer weather being upon us, Gilligan’s counts down the top 5 frozen cocktails in NYC right now.

Frozen Watermelon Margarita at Gilligan’s. It’s ok to toot your own horn when you’ve got the go-to drink of the season. Tequila, fresh watermelon, Combier Liqueur d’Orange and lime combine for the sweetest and most refreshing treat. Served with a spiced slice of watermelon with salt and chili powder that you’ll truly relish.

Frosé at Soho Diner. Our sister eatery is nipping at our frozen heels with this smooth masterpiece served in their outdoor garden. New for 2025 is a tasty and refreshing blend of rose wine, pink grapefruit, strawberry and lemon.

The Tyger Stripe Slushee at The Tyger. Designed to look like tiger stripes incorporating Espolòn tequila, white tea, peach, lemon, and activated charcoal. Don’t miss this drink if you’r visiting New York City.

Nopalito at Oxomoco. Greenpoint, Brooklyn’s Michelin-starred destination offers an exquisite and spicy frozen experience made with mezcal, cucumber, mint and citrus.

Adobada Bam Bam at Superbueno. This smoky, salty, smoothy-like gem will have you feeling you’re on an extended vacation. The mix of mezcal, adobada falernum, pineapple juice, lemon, and grilled pineapple is the perfect summer blend.
