After more than a year in the works, Westport frozen cocktail bar Frost plans to open by October just as the weather also starts to turn frosty.
In the 2,400-square-foot former Julep cocktail lounge space (4141 Pennsylvania Ave.), Frost will offer frozen drink classics such as pina coladas, daiquiris and margaritas; seasonal frozen drinks and collaborations with local companies such distilleries and wineries; and frozen mocktails. It also will have beer and wine.
Snacks will be a play on what you would throw in your cooler when you head to the beach. So look for a variety of pretzels, flavored popcorn, meats and cheeses.
A portion of sales of seasonal frozen cocktails will be donated to local charities, such as a red specialty daiquiri celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs season.
The owners – Jim Baxter, Chris Rainbolt and Tommy Mueller – bring their experiences in real estate and hospitality. They weren’t available for comment.
They also have a lease for the 3,600-square-foot former Becoming retail space, facing Pennsylvania Avenue, and hope to later expand there with a larger bar and more extensive menu, all under Suite 101.
“It will have nods to that nostalgic family vacation that takes you back, classic Push Pops for the kids during the day,” says Lynne Pierce, creative consultant. “The idea of gathering and community, truly a space for making memories and escaping the day-to-day.”
Hours will be 11 a.m. to midnight daily.
