Thirsty Thursday: Best Frozen Drinks in Key West

Thirsty Thursday: Best Frozen Drinks in Key West (Flying Monkeys, Fat Tuesday & Mary Ellen's) Host Michele O'Connor introduces the Fun in Key West podcast as an insider guide to where to eat, drink, stay, and what to do on the island, with updates on events and occasional local guests. In this Thirsty Thursday episode, she spotlights Key West's frozen drink scene and encourages listeners to try new menu options beyond standard pina coladas, margaritas, and daiquiris. She recommends Flying Monkeys on Duval (near Bull and Whistle and Fogerty Mansion) for its mix-and-match frozen machines, to-go cups, and drinks like the Flying Monkey (spiked lemonade plus raspberry-bourbon) and a frozen White Russian, plus a non-alcoholic Monkey Slush. She also covers Fat Tuesday's New Orleans-style daiquiri wall, and Mary Ellen's off Duval for its dive-bar vibe and her favorite frozen Irish coffee topped with crushed cookies. She mentions other Key West cocktail history, Better Than Sex dessert-and-drinks, and directs listeners to funinkeywest.com for guides and the book club. 00:00 Welcome to Fun in Key West 01:26 Thirsty Thursday kickoff 03:02 Frozen drinks mindset 04:02 Flying Monkeys favorites 07:15 Fat Tuesday daiquiri wall 08:29 Mary Ellens Irish coffee 10:05 More bars and history 11:25 Better Than Sex detour 12:39 Guides and book club 13:54 Wrap up and sign off www.funinkeywest.com
