Few activities elicit greater nostalgia and fond childhood memories than an ice cream in the summertime — something Mexico’s all-inclusive Velas Resorts is happy to provide, with a twist. Enjoy an adult take on a childhood favorite: boozy ice cream.
A new happy hour event takes over Velas Resort properties in Los Cabos, Riviera Maya and Vallarta-Nayarit, with a range of alcohol-infused ice cream scoops, floats and popsicles.
Head to Sky Bar at Grand Velas Los Cabos for happy hour, 6–7 p.m., for oceanfront views with a cool treat on a hot night. Try the red wine sorbet or sip on a cocktail of bourbon, sweet vermouth and a shot of espresso, poured over caramel-popcorn ice cream. For something with a kick, try the Ginger Reyes, made with a locally made spicy liqueur, Ancho Reyes, mixed with ginger ale and passion fruit sorbet.
Happy Hour by Velas Resorts
Over on the Caribbean coast, Grand Velas Riviera Maya boasts a similar vibe at the Zen pool, secluded behind tranquil foliage. This space offers more family- and wellness-focused treats (non-alcoholic) in flavors like guava, lemon, strawberry cream, mango, green tea and horchata. For something more mature, head over to the adults-only Grand Class infinity pool and enjoy unique popsicles daily, 1–2 p.m. Try the chocolate mezcal, Kahlua, margarita, coconut rum, and gin and tonic popsicles with an unobstructed view of the ocean.
Both Casa Velas in Puerto Vallarta and Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit are also hosting a seasonal happy hour, 5–7 p.m. Flavors include Mexican red wine, Piña Colada, Mojito and unique Negroni concoctions.
