Top Frozen Drinks In South Florida

A frozen drink usually means that one is one vacation and is sitting on a beach enjoying the sun and hearing the waves crash against the shore. For South Florida natives, it can also mean that it's 5 o'clock and one is meeting with friends at a local bar to enjoy the start of the weekend after a grueling week of rush hour traffic and work. Frozen drinks come in all colors because of the fruits added (strawberry puree, bananas, pineapple) and are made with different types of liquors, be it rum, vodka, wine, tequila, etc. A great frozen drink will enhance the festivities and be part of your senses in memory for the next week to hold you until the next time.

Huahua's Taqueria

Miami Beach, FL 33139

A Mexican restaurant isn't complete without a margarita. Huahua's frozen margarita is made with agave wine which is different from a tequila-based margarita without taking away the tequila taste. A person who is daring could get the large serving for $9 or order a $6 regular serving and add on if one's mood changes after the first one. Huahua's has great Mexican food that will satisfy and its location on Lincoln Road will give the illusion you are at a seaside Mexican resort on a luxurious vacation.
