There are probably some heavy drinkers out there who think, "Shaved ice is just kids' food, right? I'd rather drink alcohol than eat sweets." For those of you who feel that way, we have a treat that will impress both those with a sweet tooth and those with a spicy one.

It's called the Palace Hotel Tokyo's "Summer Frozen Cocktail." The name sounds refreshing, but the crunchy texture of the cocktail will cool down a heated body. The lineup includes five drinks: "Darjeeling Squash," featuring the rich aroma and delicate astringency of Darjeeling tea with a hint of grapefruit; "Frozen Mojito," a refreshing drink with lime and mint; "Berry Berry," a visually stunning drink made with fresh blueberries; "Soleil," a tropical breeze of passion fruit and mango; and "Frozen Grasshopper," fragrant with mint and cocoa. Each drink costs 1,900 yen. Each one has a refreshing flavor perfect for summer.

The drinks are served at "Privé," a chic lounge bar on the sixth floor. With a moody counter and a terrace where you can enjoy the summer breeze, and a night view unfolding before your eyes, it's the ultimate romantic setting. It's perfect for a little dressing up. These refreshing cocktails are sure to satisfy even the most discerning drinker. Who would you like to share them with?
