Few things summon summer nostalgia like enjoying an ice cream on a warm afternoon. Velas Resorts in Mexico—known for their all-inclusive properties—have reimagined that memory with an adult twist: alcohol-infused ice cream, popsicles and floats served during a lively happy hour.
The new boozy ice cream happy hour appears across Velas Resorts locations in Los Cabos, Riviera Maya and Vallarta-Nayarit, offering a creative selection of spirited scoops and frozen treats designed for grown-up palates.
At the oceanfront Sky Bar at Grand Velas Los Cabos, happy hour runs from 6–7 p.m. and pairs sunset views with inventive desserts. Highlights include a red wine sorbet and a caramel-popcorn ice cream topped with a bourbon, sweet vermouth and espresso float. For something with heat, the Ginger Reyes blends the smoky, spicy Ancho Reyes liqueur with ginger ale and passion fruit sorbet for a bright, bold flavor.
Happy Hour by Velas Resorts
On the Caribbean coast, Grand Velas Riviera Maya offers a tranquil Zen pool area set behind lush foliage, where families and wellness-minded guests can enjoy non-alcoholic frozen treats in flavors such as guava, lemon, strawberry cream, mango, green tea and horchata. Adults seeking something stronger can visit the adults-only Grand Class infinity pool for daily popsicles served from 1–2 p.m. Expect playful options like chocolate mezcal, Kahlúa, margarita, coconut rum and gin-and-tonic popsicles, all enjoyed with panoramic ocean views.
Seasonal happy hours are also available at Casa Velas in Puerto Vallarta and Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit from 5–7 p.m. These events present a rotating lineup of flavors—including Mexican red wine, Piña Colada, Mojito and inventive Negroni variations—giving guests a range of classic and unexpected tastes.
Across properties, these adult-friendly frozen treats offer a fresh way to savor the season: part cocktail, part dessert, and entirely designed for leisurely seaside afternoons. Whether you favor fruity sorbets, rich creamy scoops or bold liqueur-infused popsicles, the Velas Resorts happy hours provide a grown-up take on a beloved childhood indulgence.
