Cool comfort

The feeling that comes from sipping something cold, sweet, and thick enough to stand a straw in is one of summer's meltingly ephemeral pleasures, meant to be seized whenever inspiration strikes. These creamy frozen drinks ― from a frothy raspberry soda to a grown-up grasshopper milkshake spiked with crème de menthe ― will transport you back to an old-fashioned soda fountain. Guileless and utterly soothing, these drinks are a snap to make whenever you want an instant fix of childhood memories.
