Montauk Frosé The Montauk For some, it may be all about rosé all day this time of year. Here in the Valley, we sometimes need that rosé on ice.

Dole Whipped Lylo Swim Club For Disneyland fans, this treat needs no introduction. An adult take on the wildly popular theme park treat, this version of the pineapple soft serve ice cream dessert moves to the cocktail menu thanks to a heaping pour of Hamilton Demerara 86 Proof Rum, which offers brown spices and rich oak notes to balance the topical sweetness. $14. www.lylophx.com.
Alchemy of the Damned UnderTow A modern interpretation of the Saturn Tiki cocktail, this blended take brings together pineapple, guava, lime, and passion fruit juices with orgeat syrup, falernum syrup liqueur, Banks 7 Island Blend Golden Rum, and Botanist Gin infused with cooling buchu, a South African plant known for its medicinal benefits. $17. www. undertowphx.com.

Lune du Rouge Zinqué This delicate eye-catcher starts with a granita sphere made with Solano Blood Orange Liqueur and smooth shaved ice. Casamigos Reposado, almond syrup and fresh lime juice are then poured over the citrus-forward, sorbet-like cocktail. Enjoy this adult slushy with either a spoon or a straw. $17. www. lezinque.com.
Big Red Margarita We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort The flavors of summer at its sweetest, this frozen seasonal margarita is made by blending strawberries with Milagro Tequila Reposado and freshly squeezed lime juice.
