L.A.\u2019s annual summer heat wave is upon us, with triple-digit temperatures breaking records<\/a> across the region. During this time of year, ovens and stoves go dormant as Southern Californians seek to sate their thirst and hunger with chilled and frozen options, from refreshing poke bowls<\/a> and ceviches<\/a> to shaved ice<\/a> and soft serve<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our restaurant scene is responding in kind by adding a slew of frozen beverages to their menus. That means you can get your daily coffee or matcha blended for a cool start to the day, or venture outside of your usual and perk up with a Thai tea slushie or hojicha blockshake. And for kids or those avoiding caffeine, a zesty ginger lemonade and nostalgic Dole Whip are at the ready.<\/p>\n
