Now at Boka: Popsicles for Grown-Ups

Yes, that means booze.

By Rachel Breiwick June 3, 2013

The Big Breezy, the Patio Punch, and the Sunset Sail. Bottoms up, or whatever.

If only these popsicles had booze in them. This is a wish you’ll never have to make again thanks to Boka Restaurant and Bar on First Ave. The restaurant sent word that bar manager (her official title is chief mixologist) Mi-Suk Ahn is freezing up so-called grown-up popsicles—basically little cubes of mixers ­and garnish, to be sunk into a combination of liquor and a little artistic liberty—and it changes weekly. The boxy popsicles come in a variety of flavors, ranging from a citrus-forward “Sunset Sail” topped off with shiso leaf–infused rum and raspberries, to the very cool cucumber-pear-mint drink “Patio Punch.” Um, yes.

The best part is that every Tuesday (Boozy Tuesday in Boka parlance) these little guys go for 7 bucks.

If adult popsicles (this term sounds wrong) aren’t your thing, Boka is making a liquor-laden take on the banana split. For $9 during happy hour the Drunken Monkey includes Calvados ice cream, bourbon caramel sauce, chocolate stout fudge, drunken bananas, and brandied cherries. There's even a bit of caramel corn for your drunken munchies enjoyment.
