Slushies aren’t just for kids, thanks to some creative bartenders across Toronto! From cider slushies to boozy slushies topped with gummy bears, these are the top drinks to choose from this summer. Here are the best boozy slushies in Toronto. [Photo courtesy of The Porch]
The Porch is home to one of the best rooftop patios in the city, plus it serves up the infamous Bulldog Margarita Served in sandcastle pails, it’s the most popular item on the cocktail menu for good reason. This drink is customizable: customers can choose lime, raspberry or mango for flavour, and then choose a tequila. The whole thing is topped off with a bottle of Corona.
Home of the Brave’s slushy menu is always changing, so you can expect everything from a Long Island iced tea slushy to a Moscow Mule slushy. The Americana-style bar always delivers on quality of cocktail and the slushy variations are no exception!
Jen Agg is a very busy lady, when she’s not writing memoirs or running four restaurants she’s coming up with delicious tropical cocktails at Rhum Corner. Her Haitian snack bar is currently serving Negroni and Pina Colada slushies that hit the spot on those warm summer nights.
Si Lom just opened its doors and the Thai bistro is already serving up boozy slushy concoctions. The slushy buckets come two ways: The Jolly Bear and Friend Kamikaze (multi-coloured vodka drink topped with gummy bears), or the Beer-Plus-Rita, a bucket of tequila-spiked lemonade topped with a bottle of Corona.
Rosé for days! Actually, make that frozen rosé for days at the Cactus Club. The rosé slushy is the drink to be seen drinking this year, on and off Instagram. Called Froze, it sees rosé slush mixed with strawberries, elderflower, vodka and lemon.
Momofuku has been serving boozy slushies for years, so you’ll be happy to know that they are back this summer! The Seven Spice Sour is made with sake, togarashi, yuzu and lime, while the Strawberry Sangria is made with pais, strawberry and lavender.
Two words: cider slushy. That should really be the driving force to get you into Louis Cifer Brew Works. Made with Pommies slush, you can get these unique cider slushies in two flavours – original and rhubarb-apple.
The Electric Lemonade on the menu at The One Eighty is summer in a glass. It’s bright blue, thanks to the Hypnotiq and blue curacao, and is mixed with limeade and white cranberry juice. The drink is fun, refreshing and delicious.
Don Don Izakaya is home to the infamous Polar Beer. Originally from Japan, the frozen beer made its debut in Toronto the summer of 2015, and has become a summer drink staple. The Sapporo beer has a sub zero foam that keeps the beer fresh and cold until the lost drop.
The hottest bar this summer has to be Madame Boeuf! Located behind Bar Begonia, this outdoor bar is another spot to get your hands on frozen rosé. You can grab the boozy slushy and take in the unique atmosphere of Madame Boeuf.
