This frozen Mojito recipe might be even better than the classic drink! It’s minty, icy, and outrageously refreshing: like someone amped up the dial on the mint volume. It’s the perfect summer drink for sipping on the patio!
When the summer heat is is at sky high levels, here’s a drink that will cool you to your core: the frozen Mojito! The classic Mojito is one of our top cocktails of all time, and as two certified mixologists we’ve made almost every type of fruity mojito recipe.
This frozen spin makes our heads turn! It’s icy and intensely minty, and it’s so simple to whip up in a blender. It immediately jumped to the top of our must-make frozen alcoholic drinks!
This frozen mojito is an icy spin on the Mojito, a classic cocktail invented in Havana, Cuba. Some say the origins of this drink go all the way back to the 1500’s with an early combination of lime, sugar, and rum used as medicine. But the modern version of became popular in the 1930’s.
The Frozen Mojito uses all the same ingredients as a classic Mojito, except it substitutes ice for soda water. Instead of diluting the drink with bubbles, it turns it into a frozen slushie. Here’s what you’ll need for a Frozen Mojito:
The best part about this frozen Mojito? It requires no advanced planning whatsoever. You can make it on the spot! This is unique because many frozen cocktails need time to freeze over night, like with this Frozen Margarita or Frozen Sangria. But with the Mojito, you can whip one up right away. Here’s what to do:
You can use many different shapes of glasses for serving a Frozen Mojito. Here we served it in a non-standard presentation with a stemmed cocktail glass, just for fun! A Mojito is often served in a low-ball or high-ball glass, so that works as well. Another option is a Hurricane glass, which is often used for tropical drinks.
One of the great things about blender cocktails is that they’re easy to make multiple servings. Just make double the recipe for 4 servings, or quadruple it for 8. Use the 2x button in the recipe below for an easy way to double the ingredients.

Love frozen cocktails? This frozen mojito is one of our favorites, but there are lots more fun ideas to try. Here are a few of our top frozen alcoholic drinks:
The main difference is the texture. A regular mojito is a shaken drink with a liquid consistency, while a frozen mojito is blended with ice to create a frozen, slushy texture.
Yes, you can use a sugar substitute like stevia or agave nectar instead of simple syrup. We don’t recommend honey or maple syrup, since they have a very strong flavor.
You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar (or sugar substitute) to taste.

This easy frozen sangria recipe is sure to be a favorite: it’s wine-forward and just sweet enough, with a hint of citrus.
In college I studied abroad in Madrid and my experiences there have stuck with me to this day: eating my first paella, inhaling patatas bravas in tapas bars, and sipping creamy cafe con leche.
Of course, another great memory is glasses of fruity red sangria! Here’s a spin on the classic that’s a fun spin on the traditional drink: this frozen sangria recipe. It’s icy and refreshing, citrusy and red-wine forward: really, an ideal summer drink for any occasion!
“OMG! The sangria is amazing. Love that the added sugar is honey and not actual sugar. So pleased. I love sangria, and order it anywhere I go. I have never have a frozen one – this will be a hit.” -Micah
Sangría is a traditional wine punch that originates from Spain. A classic sangria is made with red wine and chopped fruit, and often orange juice or brandy. There are lots of sangria variations as well (we’ve made peach sangria, white sangria, strawberry sangria, and apple cider sangria).
Frozen sangria is a variation on sangria that’s frozen, like a slushie. Of course, it’s not an authentic Spanish drink: it’s more of an American invention honoring the Spanish alcoholic punch. But the method makes for a festive frozen alcoholic drink that tastes like sangria and great for parties!
Like our frozen margarita and frozen mojito, we’ve added this one to our summer party repertoire and it’s here to stay.
Frozen sangria is not authentic, so the method is quite different from sangria itself! It’s less like making sangria and more like making a wine smoothie.
Because Alex and I are obsessed with clever ways to make recipes easy to make, Alex devised a solution for making this sangria taste tangy without watering down the flavor with ice. This recipe calls for frozen clementine oranges instead of ice. This brings in a tart, citrus flavor and smooth texture without having to water down the frozen sangria with ice. Here’s what to do:
While frozen sangria is not traditionally Spanish, we have several recipes that are inspired by my time in Spain! Try these recipes:
This frozen sangria recipe is vegetarian, gluten-free, and naturally sweet (no refined sugar). For vegan, use maple syrup.
Traditionally, Spanish red wines like Garnacha or Tempranillo are used, but you can experiment! Fruity reds like Pinot Noir or Beaujolais work well too.
Don’t freeze overnight! We recommend making a batch right before you plan to serve it.
Fresh fruit slices, berries, mint sprigs, and even edible flowers make beautiful and tasty garnishes.

Try this refreshing twist on a classic cocktail: the frozen espresso martini! This easy recipe blends 4 ingredients into a creamy, frosty puree with rich coffee undertones. It’s the drink of the summer!
Here’s your signature summer cocktail: the frozen espresso martini! The classic espresso martini has vaulted into one of the most popular cocktails in America. So why not try a frozen spin on the classic?
We created our own spin on this recipe and it is extremely simple to make! Many recipes call for making espresso and freezing it into ice cubes, but who has time for that? You can make our version in just 5 minutes in a blender. The creamy, frosty flavor with rich coffee undertones is absolutely divine. We can’t wait for you to try it!
As cookbook authors and cocktail experts, we’ve have over 300 cocktail recipes in our library. This one has a special place in our heart because it’s so tasty and it came about as a happy accident. Wondering if we could simply use bottled cold brew coffee in a frozen version of this drink, we whipped out our blender. Turns out, it works beautifully! You can also use brewed coffee if you prefer. Here are the ingredients you’ll need:
Here’s what you’ll need to do to make an espresso martini:
Step 1: Gather the ingredients: 1 cup cold brew coffee, ¼ cup Kahlua, ¼ cup vodka, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 3 cups ice.
Step 2: Blend the ingredients in a blender.
Step 3: Pour into glasses and garnish with 3 coffee beans.
The Espresso Martini is a vodka martini made with coffee that was invented in 1983. London bartender Dick Bradsell of the Soho Brasserie created the drink for a patron who asked for a drink to wake her up.
Apparently the coffee machine was right next to the drink station, and the Espresso Martini was born. The name came in the 1990’s when flavored martinis were all the rage.
We like buying purchased cold brew coffee concentrate for a frozen espresso martini because it’s so simple! You can also make homemade cold brew coffee, which is very easy and a much cheaper method. If you have a French press, try French press cold brew.
Or, make strong coffee using a dark roast bean: French press or pour over work well. Another great option is Moka Pot coffee (coffee made with a Bialetti), since its flavor is somewhere between coffee and espresso. Cool the coffee before blending.
Kahlua is a coffee liqueur that’s made in Mexico. It’s made with rum, sugar and coffee. It does have some caffeine, but only about 25% as much as the same volume of coffee. The standard Kahlua is dairy-free, vegan and plant-based: it contains only rum, sugar and coffee.
You can also use other types of coffee liqueur in a frozen espresso martini, like Tia Maria or Sheridan’s. Use up leftovers to make Kahlua drinks like the White Russian, Black Russian or Mudslide.
If you love a good frozen espresso martini, here are a few more coffee cocktails might enjoy:
The main difference is texture. A frozen espresso martini is blended with ice, creating a slushy, refreshing drink, similar to a frozen margarita. The flavor profile is similar to the classic cocktail.
Absolutely! If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a bit more sugar. For a less sweet version, reduce the amount. We don’t suggest omitting it.
Coffee beans are the classic choice, but you can also use a sprinkle of cocoa powder or even a dollop of whipped cream.
It’s best to blend right before serving to have the correct slushy texture. If desired, you can mix up the liquids and refrigerate, then blend with ice right before serving. You can also blend and freeze for up to 1 hour, then stir with a fork before serving.

*We used purchased bottled vanilla cold brew. You can also use homemade cold brew coffee, or make double-strength coffee using your favorite method.
**If desired, you can also use 2 ½ tablespoons simple syrup, maple syrup, or agave syrup as a natural sweetener.
Make ahead notes: It’s best to blend right before serving to have the correct slushy texture. If desired, you can mix up the liquids and refrigerate, then blend with ice right before serving. You can also blend and freeze for up to 1 hour, then stir with a fork before serving.
