Looking for a sweet way to cool down? To welcome the sunny skies, Manhattan’s signature rooftop bar, Loopy Doopy, is serving up its best seasonal cocktails, prepared with a fun new twist bursting with flavor: fruit aromatic ice cubes.

Sip on a deliciously mixed drink dressed in fruit-flavored ice cubes as you soak in breathtaking views of the Hudson River and downtown Manhattan from 16 stories up. Make a splash with an assortment of seasonal ice cubes, made with fresh fruit purees, including raspberry for Loopy Doopy’s Pear Berry Lemonade cocktail, or lime for their refreshing margarita. Want to add an herbal bite to your cocktail? Purple basil and mint ice cubes are also available. No matter the flavor, these delectable cubes are sure to enhance any summer cocktail.

Lead bartender and mixologist at Loopy Doopy, Victor Diaz, is all about delighting his guests with his own unique spin on his concoctions, and Loopy Doopy’s fruit aromatic ice cubes are sure to please.

“The flavored ice cubes provide fun and functionality as they cool your cocktail without watering it down,” Diaz said. “As the cubes melt, they actually enhance the flavor of the drink.”

Though this season will be the bar’s first serving its cocktails with fruit-infused ice cubes, they’re guaranteed to be a hit. These colorful cubes are a bright way to keep and add flavor to any drink. So make time to kick back and cool off with one of Loopy Doopy’s refreshing seasonal cocktails at this New York hotspot this summer.

Loopy Doopy will be shaking up its flashy summer cocktails beginning in May, until the end of the season in October.
