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 11 Degrees, 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, and the best cocktail bars.

Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission. The latest CDC guidance is here; find a COVID-19 vaccination site here.
