If you’re looking for something incredibly refreshing that also happens to be alcoholic, a cold cocktail is good – but a frozen cocktail is even better. There’s no better way to cool off, relax and enjoy something tasty all at the same time, and presenting a round of frozen cocktails to your slightly sweaty friends is bound to put you in their good books.

This collection of frozen cocktail recipes has you covered, whether you’re after a grown-up slushie or something a little more solid. Try making Marcus Wareing’s simple Gin and tonic granita to go one step beyond the classic G&T, or put that bottle of tequila to good use with Ren Behan’s Frozen peach and rosemary margarita. Looking to relive your childhood? Sally Abé’s boozy ice lollies cater for all tastes – try Piña colada, Chambord and lemonade or Strawberry margarita. And if you’ve yet to try Frosé – the best thing to happen to wine for decades – you’re missing out on a fantastic summer treat.

All you need to make these delicious frozen cocktails is a good blender, some ice lolly moulds and a freezer. Feel free to experiment with other flavours, but keep in mind that the ratios need to be kept the same – if there’s too much alcohol in the mixture, they won’t freeze solid.
