by Eater Staff Updated May 2, 2022, 1:15pm EDT

The heat is on in Atlanta again. Buddying up with Georgia’s swampy humidity, a late-spring day or summer afternoon in the upper 80s here can easily feel like 95 sweltering degrees, or more. In such a steamy city, sipping on a frozen beverage isn’t just an indulgence, it’s a necessity. Eater mapped out a few frozen drinks, slushies, and milkshakes (some with booze, some without) to seek out at restaurants and bars around Atlanta.

The Varsity is likely Atlanta’s biggest dining tourist attraction. It still offers the most famous hot dog in the city. And folks are willing to brave the crowds for it, even on the weekends.

Bush, and Barack Obama, as well as movie stars like Clark Gable and business tycoons such as Warren Buffett.
