One of the best cures for the Texas heat is frozen cocktails, which offer oh-so-cold alcoholic relief. Luckily, plenty of Austin restaurants and bars are offering the frosty, boozy beverage. (But remember: keep hydrated.)

In Austin, these frozen cocktail options range from easygoing takes at Better Half, to-go frozen daiquiris from the Cavalier, the iconic Bee’s Knees at King Bee, creamy frozen Irish coffees at Nickel City, many tiki drinks, and margaritas and frosés galore.

For other drink needs, there are margaritas, Mexican martinis, new cocktail destinations, best cocktail bars, and hot-weather happy hours for those 100-degree-plus days.
