20 Orlando frozen treats you probably haven't tried yet

Honeydew Snow at Bubbles & Ice

811 N. Mills Ave., 407-895-8833
Shaved snow is made from flavored, milky (though non-dairy) ice: frozen into giant blocks, heaved onto a rotating spit and shaved into gossamer-thin layers. The flavor and topping possibilities are almost endless, but honeydew snow topped with multicolored sprinkles and fruity popping pearls is especially refreshing. - JBY

Bullshit Blend at Valkyrie

12226 Corporate Blvd. Ste. 160, 407-999-9799
The Bullshit Blend is the perfect treat for a hot day.

933 N. Orlando Ave., Winter Park, 407-699-9463

Chocolate Sea Salt at Yum Yum Pops

Multiple locations, 407-900-8272
Completely dairy-free, made with local and organic ingredients wherever possible, Yum-Yum may be the closest thing to guilt-free summer snacking. Sunshine Daydream is a credible Dreamsicle analogue, strawberry-lemonade is an uncomplicated hot-weather refresher, but chocolate sea salt, made creamy with pureed bananas, is cocoa transcendence. - JBY

Avocado Drink at Loving Hut

2101 E. Colonial Drive, 407-894-5673

Coco-Cocoa at Pop Parlour

Multiple locations, 321-348-7677
The temple of popsicles has a plethora of flavors from which to choose, different every day based on what's in season. It's almost too hard to choose just one, but our current obsession (beating out summery vanilla-sweet corn), is the coco-cocoa: coconut milk and deep dark chocolate combined in an all-growed-up pop that's miles more sophisticated than the Fudgsicle of your childhood. - JBY

Tigers' Blood Snow-cone at Rainbow Sno-Cones Shaved Ice

3724 Howell Branch Rd, Winter Park, 407-896-9105
Rainbow has served up their specialty, New Orleans-style snowballs, to generations of Orlando families, and it turns out the saying is true: Practice does make perfect. Instead of the crunchy ice pellets of a snow cone from the fairgrounds, Rainbow's ice has the texture of actual snow, and the syrup flavors are killer: Tigers' Blood (strawberry and coconut) is a personal fave. - JBY

Sesame Milk Slush Boba at Quickly Boba & Snow

3214 E. Colonial Drive, 407-270-4570
You've probably had Asian milk tea with boba before, but those familiar flavors – taro, green tea, cantaloupe – are even chillier when blended up into a slush. Quickly has dozens, but we're partial to the nutty- vanilla sesame, particularly when revved up with the addition of coffee jelly cubes (level up from your boring boba.) Boy Kong's fantastic mural is also cooler than cool. - JBY
