It’s hot! Which icy local beverages are you sipping to cool down?

 

“I’ll have an icy, low-ABV Slipstream Italian pilsner from Wren Südhalle, please. Crisp, clean and quaffable.”

— Craig Outhier, editor

 

“I can’t get through summer without the frozen lemonade – regular and strawberry – at Eat Up Drive In. On the boozy side, I love my birthstone cocktail at Quartz, the coconutty Sea of Aquamarine. I also happily risk brain freeze for the Polar Puppy in The Cave inside Quartz.”

— Leah LeMoine, managing editor

 

“I’m a sucker for fresh, ice-cold lemonade. A few of my local faves include the house-made classic from Ingo’s Tasty Food, AZ Lemonade Stand’s prickly pear and the cucumber-mint and blueberry-basil flavors from Salad and Go.”

— Madison Rutherford, associate editor

 

“Not only does Persepshen rock the Arizona-grown, cured and cooked protein game, but they also whip out this amazing Megroni, which is a Negroni, but with my favorite booze variety, mezcal! So yum!”

— Mirelle Inglefield, art director

 

“My favorite treat during these record-breaking heat warnings is anything from La Michoacana Premium. I personally love the fresas con crema (strawberries with cream). It is so fresh and creamy and absolutely lovely while running errands, even if I finish it in two seconds because it’s that good.”

— Angelina Aragon, managing art director
