The beloved Southern beverage brand Coca-Cola is known for throwing out some unique (and perhaps whackadoodle) drinks.

During the Super Bowl, they released blood orange, mango, cherry and ginger lime Diet Coke, and last month they started R&D on an alcoholic soda that is properly nicknamed “alcopop.” While those of us stateside were able to try all of the Diet Coke flavors, we're unfortunately missing out on that alcopop —  it is currently only available in Japan. Also only available in Japan: pre-packaged frozen Coca-Cola slushies.

Each lemon-flavored Coke comes crushed and sold in individual squeezy pouches — a la Capri Sun — that are perfect for sipping. 

Before you scream out in disappointment that you won't get to try this summertime refresher, we’ve got a Coca-Cola slushie that you can make in your own home. While it doesn’t come in a squeezy pouch, this easy recipe does include a couple of splashes of bourbon. Dubbed the Frola, it's the perfect slushie you’ll want in hand at every outdoor occasion, all summer long.Frola Frozen Bourbon and Cola Cocktail
