A frozen mixed drink is a beverage typically made by blending a combination of ingredients such as spirits (like rum, vodka, or tequila), fruit juices or syrups, and ice cubes to create a perfect consistency.

These drinks are often served in a variety of flavors.

They can be served as a fruity slushie style with frozen or fresh fruit or they can be served like a boozy milkshake.
