Product Description
A hot day, a soft breeze, and a tall, cool drink in your hand . . . No longer just vacation-time treats, dozens of irresistible, frosty concoctions are just a whir of the blender away. In warm weather, there are few occasions--and few times of day--when an icy beverage doesn't hit the spot. For just such moments, frozen drink wizard Bruce Weinstein has created more than one hundred simple, innovative recipes for slushees, daiquiris, margaritas, coladas, chocolate and coffee drinks, and granitas and sorbets.

From traditional poolside favorites such as pine-apple daiquiris and piña coladas to the immensely popular coffeehouse Frappuccinos and Mochaccinos, Frozen Drinks covers the range of icy treats, tangy or sweet, slushy or smooth. Try starting your morning with a Quadruple Coffee Shake, take an afternoon break with a glass of Frozen Raspberry Lemonade, or savor a dessert of Iced German Chocolate Cake.

The book's introduction provides essential information for making perfect drinks every time, such as when to use fresh fruit and when canned or frozen fruit will do. Each recipe is nonalcoholic but has tasty variations, some with and some without alcohol.

There are also a number of creative suggestions for garnishes, such as crumbled peppermint patties on a Chocolate Mint Parfait or candy canes to top off a Cabana Striped Slush.

With dozens of ways to slice, dice, and blend your way through the summer, Frozen Drinks will be as welcome as an air conditioner in August.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect compliment to Margaritaville   July 11, 2010
Reading for Life (California)
I bought this for an inspiration to my Margaritaville Maker and it is perfect. The only thing you have to remember is 4 ounces mix (including alcohol) per drink and you can make anything.


2 out of 5 stars Too much work!   March 18, 2009
S. Arden
This book was not helpful to me at all. While I expected a little work, I didnt expect to be the Emeril of Frozen drinks while making them. The recipes are very complicated and many of them do NOT have listed how to put alcohol in them. So, if you want to spend tons of time making a drink and you do not drink alcohol, this book will be perfect for you. Mine is now just a book I sat out when I had a frozen drink party!


5 out of 5 stars Purchased for a gift basket   December 24, 2008

My cousin created a gift basket for my daughter's 30th birthday and added this book, but I was delighted to find it on Amazon. Lots of great recipes for drinks with or without alcohol. I bought one for me and one to give away!


5 out of 5 stars If you love frozen drinks....   November 26, 2008

I was very disappointed when I received this book... not worth the $10. Maybe in the 80-90's this book would have been good within its kind.. but really it is so short and simple. Only a few recipes, no illustrations, no fun! If you want a book to make fun drinks I recommend you look for something else. I returned it and got another one!
