Frozen Cocktails Are Back: Spring & Summer Drinks at White Oak Tavern

As the weather warms up and spring in New York City starts to settle in, there’s one thing on everyone’s mind — cold drinks, outdoor seating, and the return of frozen cocktails. At White Oak Tavern, we’re kicking off the season the right way with refreshing drinks designed for sunny afternoons and long evenings in Greenwich Village.

Located just steps from NYU, Washington Square Park, and Union Square, White Oak Tavern is a go-to destination for anyone searching for bars in Greenwich Village or where to get cocktails in NYC as the temperatures rise. And this season, our drink menu is built for exactly that.

Frozen Cocktails for Warmer Days

Nothing says spring and summer quite like a frozen drink in hand. Our Frozen Margarita, made with Volcan Tequila, triple sec, and fresh lime juice, delivers a classic, refreshing balance that’s perfect for daytime drinks or early evening meetups.

For something a little more playful, our Watermelon Frosé blends rosé, Deep Eddy vodka, fresh watermelon juice, and mint — light, crisp, and ideal for sipping outdoors. It’s the kind of drink that pairs perfectly with sunshine and the energy of the Village.

Guests can also customize their frozen cocktails with added flavors like mango, passionfruit, tamarind, or blood orange, making it one of the most versatile frozen drink options in NYC.

Spring & Summer Cocktails to Match the Season

While frozen drinks take center stage, our cocktail list is full of seasonal favorites that reflect the lighter, brighter side of spring and summer in NYC.

The Strawberry Fields, made with Kinnitty Castle Gin, lemon juice, strawberry, and hibiscus, is fresh and vibrant — a perfect example of a warm-weather cocktail that feels as good as it looks. The Daisy Picante, featuring jalapeño-infused tequila, blood orange, lime, and agave, adds a little heat to balance out the sweetness, making it a standout choice for those looking for something bold.

For something crisp and refreshing, the French Dandy — a mix of prosecco, lemon juice, and pear syrup — offers a lighter, sparkling option that’s ideal for daytime drinking or a relaxed afternoon in Greenwich Village. Meanwhile, the Foxy Sangría, with rosé, elderflower, citrus, and soda, delivers an easy-drinking option that fits perfectly into the rhythm of spring.

These cocktails are designed for the season — bright flavors, refreshing finishes, and drinks that pair naturally with warm weather and good company.
