Haute Top 5: Best Places in Boston for Alcoholic Slushies

Start your cocktail hour off this summer at Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse with a grownup take on a refreshing childhood favorite - boozy ice pops created by Pastry chef Tom Ponticelli. They aren’t available until June 21 and will only be on the menu for a limited time (until the end of the summer), so be sure to check out these homemade, booze-infused ice pops while you can. Seasonal flavors include raspberry and peach with rosé as well as blueberry and lime with prosecco.

If you are looking for a haute patio to chill out with a frosé this summer, head over to Frenchie in the South End. They are serving up these frozen specialties from a frosé machine that comes direct to Boston from France. The city’s latest French neighborhood restaurant, which opened in January, offers a bi-level patio with 17 seats perfect for sipping under a large overarching umbrella at a round, golden-rimmed, marble-top table imported from France.

"It’s blue. It’s delicious. That’s all you need to know." That’s how the Fish Tank cocktail for two complete with fancy little umbrella is described on the menu and guess what? They’re right. After a few sips of this fruity concoction, it’s guaranteed to chill your blues away. When it arrives to your table, you won’t believe how many people. Whether you come for an afternoon cocktail delight or head here for an after-work drink to kick the weekend off right, this might be the most fun drink to order all summer.

The Asian-fusion restaurant in Harvard Square offers traditional street fare complemented with a fun take on sake. Meet the sake slushie, an ice cold adult beverage sure to cool you down this summer. The sake-infused slushie menu changes regularly made with flavors like honey, lemon or rosemary at this subterranean location. We recommend the Pineapple Coconut Punch or Yamato Mule paired up with a sampling of chicken yakitori skewers, tebasaki chicken wings or Kaiju style daikon fries.

For a creamy slushie, head over to Wahlburgers near Fenway Park for their s'mores adult frappe. Brought to us by that family of famous brothers (you know the one - Mark, Donnie and our favorite, Paul) - this local burger and shake joint has just what you need this summer. Our favorite, the s'mores frappe is the perfect blend of chocolate ice cream and marshmallow vodka with chocolate syrup topped with a graham cracker crumble. Who needs dessert when you can indulge in one of these?
