5 of the Best Frozen Drinks in Jacksonville

The Lemon Bar

Need a break from laying out in the sun at Neptune Beach? The Lemon Bar is an easy solution – it’s literally right on the beach! Just walk up from wherever you were tanning and seek shelter from the sun under one of their brightly colored umbrellas. They have plenty of tasty snacks to munch on, or larger meals if you forgot to pack a lunch, but the best part about the Lemon Bar is their delicious specialty frozen drinks! Seriously, you have to try these.

Their signature drink, the lemon bar freeze, is a mix of Stolichnaya Citros vodka and vanilla ice cream. It would be a perfect and refreshing cool down after spending a couple of hours on the hot sand. If you’re looking for something a little more fruity, they also offer pina coladas and strawberry, mango, or orange daiquiris. Pro tip: ask for a Miami Vice for the best of both worlds!

The Lemon Bar is a local must visit if you’re looking for a way to cool off at the beach!
