View as Map

Ah, summertime in Music City — when a ride on a pedal tavern or even a quick trot from the house to the car can end in a massive pond of sweat. These14 boozy frozen libations(obviously along with a healthily-functioning a/c unit) can help bring down that body temperature during these final throes of summer. Pools and donut float are not included, sadly.

*Note that maps are not ranked, but are sorted geographically.

Walden Bar

The popular East Nashville bar has created a sweet frozen drink, theMelon Dramatic, made with Hendricks Gin, watermelon, lime, and mint.

Tons of tiki favorites and tropical vibes await at East Nashville’s first relaxed island lounge. Bartenders here blend up everything from classics like pina coladas and daiquiris — to a rum and grapefruit Floridita — and namesake Pearl Diver, with blended rum, orange, and West Indies spices.

Chopper

The East side’s newest tiki bar is Chopper — a hush-hush tropical hideout brimming with futuristic robot technology.Thirsty non-robot visitors can find frozen drinks like painkillers, daiquiris, and pina coladas all on offer in fun glassware with crazy straws for sipping.

Edley’s Bar-B-Que

Edley’s didn’t invent barbecue or the Bushwacker, but they do a bang-up job at making both. And the popular Nashville milkshake-like libation is just $5 on Wednesdays here.

Nashville Urban Winery

Copy Link

The East Nashville hotspot known best as a winery can do much more than pour a glass of their wine—they have a full menu and a bar, plus four icy libations that are ideal for summer days such as these. There’s basic frosé, frozen sangria, and bonus “brosé” and “mangria” for those for requiring more masculine drink names.

Von Elrod's Beer Garden & Sausage House

Sure, Von Elrod’s focuses heavily on beer—but don’t sleep on washing down those sausages and giant pretzels with a frozen paloma or slushy blueberry lemonade.

The Band Box at First Tennessee Park

Copy Link

When asking Nashvillians their go-to frozen drinks around town, many of them immediately cite The Band Box. The outdoor venue at First Tennessee Park serves a George Dickel Whiskey and Coke Icee and a Field of Dreamsicle featuring Pickers blood orange vodka. And both pack quite a punch.

Party Fowl

Copy Link

There’s a whole menu of seven boozy slushies to explore at the popular purveyor of creative hot chicken dishes. Whether at the original location, Murfreesboro, or the newest outpost in Donelson, consider the grown-up’s cherry limeade or the bourbon banana banshee—a piña colada with Tennessee twang.

Rare Bird

The trendy rooftop bar at Noelle features a rotating frozen drink of the day. Whether a frozen mimosa, frozen rose, or another icy refresher, the views and the vibes are hard to beat.

Acme Feed & Seed

Sweet tea is undeniably the drink of the southern states. But the deep south, if one had to sip it in boozy form, would probably taste a lot like the “mule kicker” at Tom Morales’ tri-story Broadway bar complex. With Acme’s moonshine slushie that blends in Mello Yello, thirsty bar-goers can choose to add a flavored Ole Smokey floater for further fun. There’s also a favorable frozen rose.

Pinewood Social

The outdoor poolside frosé served at Strategic Hospitality’s Pinewood Social is anything but basic. Here the slushy sipper gets an upgrade with grapefruit and pisco.

The avocado margarita at the plant-based restaurant is one for the books. Don’t knock it until trying the balanced blend of avocado, lunazul reposado, lime, agave, and orange juice. It’s finished with a whisper of orange dust, cilantro, and a lime salt rim.

Saltine Restaurant

Copy Link

Boasting one of the prettiest new interiors in town, Saltine also slings some lovely cocktails. Frozen offerings range from the zombie with light and dark rum, grapefruit, cinnamon, and hibiscus to their own take on an icy hurricane with house grenadine.

Another Nashville take on the classic bushwacker is M.L.Rose’s aptly named whipwacker. Listed appropriately on the menu as a dessert, the whipwacker is a doozy, involving whipped cream vodka and comes crowned with a second dose of whipped cream.
