Sure, 7-Eleven sells slurpees. Great. You can get a slurpee from 7-Eleven anywhere else in the nation.

So what frozen drinks can you only get in New York City?

That's a better question, considering we live in a city with some of the best, most creative and delicious foods in the world.

And it'd be a shame to waste that frozen drink craving on something lame.

So if you're seeking a classic way to stay cool in NYC this summer, you've just gotta check out these frozen drinks below.

You might even get a little buzzed while you're at it. And refreshed. Then, you'll wander off into the city and peel into perfect laughter, and have the time of your life.

That is, if you don't get a lil' brain freeze first.

1. Bungalow Bar & Restaurant (377 Beach 92nd Street - Rockaway Beach)

So, you've just spent the day splashing around and sunbathing on Rockaway Beach. It's clear you need something refreshing to cap this day off before you get on the subway to head home.

Why not sit on the dazzling waters of Jamaica Bay and throw back a frozen vodka pink lemonade?

It's refreshing, boozy, and cold. It'll chillingly slide down your throat, and complement your baked clams or fried calamari quite well.

2. Gotham West Market (600 11th Avenue)

Gotham West Market is a lovely, first-of-its-kind day and night market dining destination.

Grab some ramen at Ivan Ramen Slurp Shop, some ice cream at Ample Hills Creamery, and then, you need, and we mean need to grab a piña colada at The Cannibal.

They're where it's at. For real. You'll leave buzzed and refreshed, which is so necessary this time of year.

3. Rosa Mexicano (various NYC locations)

Rosa Mexicano has it on lock when it comes to margaritas: they offer a frozen tropical margarita, traditional margarita, and "skinny" margarita, among eleven other varieties.

But our hearts have truly been stolen by frozen pomegranate margarita, which will seduce even the fiercest of margarita avoiders. It's Rosa Mexicano's signature margarita, and with blanco tequila, triple sec, and pomegranate it will seriously mess you up.

But beware of how good this margarita is, because drinking too many of these will make it hard for you to walk to your Uber afterwards.

4. Ho'Brah Taco Joint (8618 3rd Avenue - Brooklyn)

Odds are, if you've been to a beer tasting, you've tried a flight of beer. And maybe you've even tried a flight of whiskey.

But have you ever tried a flight of frozen margaritas?

We know, it sounds almost too delicious to be true. Ho'Brah Taco offers mango, blueberry, raspberry, and classic margaritas, but the idea of picking just one sounds way too daunting.

So paying $16 for their frozen margarita flight solves that pesky decision problem: you'll get four different flavors of a delicious brand of margarita. And trust us, you'll feel the tequila.

5. Uncle Boons (7 Spring Street)

This Nolita Thai restaurant is absolutely one of the best Thai joints downtown. It's also popular, so making reservations ahead of time is the move.

Their papaya salad is to die for, as is their kob woonsen.

But, the main event is obviously Uncle Boons' frozen beer slushie, or Bia Wun, will absolutely be the most refreshing $7 you've ever spent. There are other frozen beers out there, but this one is definitely the most delicious.

6. El Patron (194-01 Northern Boulevard)

Have you ever wanted to drink a margarita straight out of a Patrón bottle?

So have we. And now, thanks to the delicious margaritas at El Patron, you can.

They're $18 each, but you'll get smashed from one, so... #WorthIt. This badass frozen drink is definitely worth visiting Queens to try.

You can also munch on some delectable fried plantain and mango chicken to go with your brain freeze.

7. Skinny Dennis (152 Metropolitan Avenue - Brooklyn)

Sometimes, you need a pick-me-up. Sometimes, you want that pick-me-up to also get you drunk.

It's only natural.

Frozen coffee is amazing, and the only thing more helpful when you're tired and need to rally than frozen coffee is, you guessed it, frozen coffee spiked with whiskey.

These coffee slushies are topped with coffee grinds and swirled in with a lot of bourbon. They're seriously delicious. We suggest you inhale your own ASAP.

8. Momofuku Noodle Bar (171 1st Avenue)

The long-famed Momofuku Noodle Bar is not just amazing because of its ramen.

Though, don't get us wrong, the ramen is certainly amazing.

But the ramen hardly holds a candle to their slushies, which are a must-have for this summer.

They come in spicy lychee and watermelon, and both are equally delicious and refreshing. And, not gonna lie, they're for sure to get you buzzed too.

9. momofuku Milk Bar (various NYC locations)

This might be the only non-alcoholic pick on the list, but there's good reason for it. (And yeah, it's not really a drink as much as it is a milkshake, but just work with us on this one, trust us.)

Milk Bar carries plenty of varieties of milkshake, and they're all delicious. From cinnamon-pineapple to root beer float to their pink lemonade milk shake, we definitely think they're all worth trying.

But real talk? We're in a long-term relationship with the cereal milk milkshake. It's a combo of milk, cornflakes, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Every bite echoes with the triumph of reaching the bottom of a bowl of cornflakes.
