Frozen Drink Recipes

Old-Time Frozen Drink Recipes For Making Totally Refreshing Drinks


Sponsored Links



Soda fountain operators used frozen drink recipes to make what they called Freezes. A "Freeze" is an ade drink or a punch in which the shaved ice is allowed to remain when serving; this gives the drink a very low temperature, hence, its name. Freezes are often served garnished with fresh fruit, a sprig of mint, and straws.

A "Smash" was very similar to a "Freeze" and generally made with fountain syrups of a rich, fruity flavor. Like Freeze recipes, Smash recipes also called for shaved ice and carbonated water. Smashes are traditionally served garnished with a sprig of mint in thin glasses with straws.

Frozen Drink Recipes

These old-fashioned Smash and Freeze recipes are taken from "The Dispenser's Formulary or Soda Water Guide" compiled by the editorial staff of The Soda Fountain, published by D. O. Haynes & Co., New York, in 1915.

Carbonated water (soda water) can be found in the soft drink section of most food stores.


Fruited Freeze

Crushed fruits served in the following manner are delicious and refreshing: 1-1/2 ounces crushed fruit, juice of half a lemon, sufficient shaved ice. Put the shaved ice in a small glass, add the fruit and lemon juice, stir well, and serve with a spoon and straws. Price--8 ounces, 10 cents.

Quaker Freeze

1 ounce pure grape juice, 1/2 ounce raspberry syrup, 1/2 ounce orange syrup, juice of 1/2 orange, 1/2 glassful fine ice shavings. Fill glass with carbonated water; mix with a spoon. Decorate with fresh mint and seasonable fruits; serve with straws. Price--12 ounces, 15 cents.

Helena Freezer

1-1/2 ounces vanilla syrup, 1 tablespoonful orange pulp, 1/4 glassful shaved ice. Place all in a 12-ounce soda glass, fill with carbonated water, fine stream, and top off with whipped cream.

Pineapple Freeze

1 ounce pineapple syrup, 1 teaspoonful powdered sugar, 1/2 glassful shaved ice. Add some carbonated water, stir vigorously in a shaker, strain into an 8-ounce glass, fill the latter with the coarse stream of carbonated water, stir again, and add a piece of pineapple or some crushed pineapple. Serve with a spoon and straws.

Pineapple-Strawberry Freeze

One ounce pineapple syrup, half glass shaved ice. Pour into 12-ounce glass, fill with carbonated water, stir, add spoonful of crushed strawberry; top with a slice of orange; serve with straws.

Or, pour ounce of strawberry syrup into 8-ounce glass; add large spoonful of either canned or fresh grated pineapple; fill with shaved ice, stir, serve with a spoon.

Pineapple Smash

1 ounce pineapple syrup, 1 teaspoonful powdered sugar, 1/2 glass shaved ice.

Rub the rim of a tall frappe glass with a piece of orange and dip the rim of the glass into powdered sugar, which will adhere to it. Shake the syrup and ice, using a heavy glass and a shaker, pour carefully into the frappe glass so as not to wash off the crusting sugar, and fill to about half an inch of the tip with plain soda water. Add a slice of orange. Serve with paper napkin and straws. Price--10 cents.
