Rancho Alegre
4.5 ★
Savannah is one of those cities where no matter what style of food you’re craving, you are more than likely able to find something to suit the craving. Rancho Alegre adds to the list of restaurants where you can find frozen drink selections while indulging in a menu that is more than burgers and pizza. Cuban food is their specialty but that is not why we’re here today. For this particular moment, we encourage you to consider their frozen margaritas, Marga-Ronas (an upside down Corona bottle in an oversized margarita) and frozen sangria deals. Taking the normal brunch menu to the next level at Rancho Alegre, they open every day at 11 am on Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. Ask about their specialty dishes for a real taste of why they are so popular around here.
Tondee’s Tavern
4.1 ★
Like many of the restaurants, hotels and venues you will walk into or beside while you’re getting to know Savannah’s historic district, Tondee’s Tavern is pretty ancient. What was once a bank from the 1850s has become the “Cheesecake in a Jar” place, that might also be the slightest bit haunted. Ask about their frozen drinks menu, their daiquiri selection is made even better by the rum and vodka inventory. But also, you have not lived until you’ve done the “Cheesecake in a Jar” bit with them. Find them on Bay St right down the street from The Olde Pink House from 11 am – 10 pm (12 am on the weekends) and experience a staple part of Downtown Savannah’s Historic District.
Tequila’s Town
4.1 ★
Local favorite, known to all who live in Savannah for their outstanding table-side guac, Tequila’s Town has multiple locations here in the city and they offer one wicked drink menu next to their expansive food selection. From the many variations of a frozen margarita to the strawberry, peach or mango daiquiri choices, you can pair these drinks with anything on the menu and know that you will be fully satisfied by the end of your meal. Hours vary based on which location you select for your visit, whether it be downtown, Habersham or Skidaway so don’t forget to check your info before you go! Come out to any location and find out why this restaurant has been named “Best Mexican Restaurant in Savannah” for the last 9 years, there’s really no competition.
Boomy’s
4.5 ★
While Boomy’s is more of a drinks/food destination than somewhere to grab frozen drinks in general, we could not skip them for this particular list. Everyone already loves to grab Thai food from Boomy’s and their drink menu is to die for, despite having little frozen drink options. But, what makes them noteworthy for this particular list is their signature cocktail, a Jameson and Ginger slushee. For those who already always order a shot of Jameson with every beer, this would be right up their alley. Trust us, you will want to take a moment to try this one out. From 12 pm – 3 am (2 am on Sundays) you can take a chance on their house favorite and maybe even find out how great their Thai food is with a visit to Congress St.
Zunzibar
4.8 ★
Here at Savannah Sip N’ Cycle, we love to find any excuse to mention Zunzi’s or Zunzibar. Alongside menu items that are filling and with Vegan friendly options, you can find hand crafted cocktails and frozen drinks. Ask any of your #PartyBike hosts how they feel about Zunzi’s and you won’t be disappointed to see how excited they get to tell you all about their favorite dish or drink. For the frozen drink lovers out there, you cannot go wrong with a Scarlett’s Rose Frose or the Mango Tango. Just as strong as they are tasty, Zunzibar is a staple part of Savannah’s Historic District whether you are from here or just looking for a chill place to eat and drink. From 11 am – 11 pm just look for the giant umbrellas outside on Drayton St and you will know you’ve found the right location.
