Houston, get ready to beat the heat this Halloween by chilling out—literally! While many will be embracing spooky pumpkins and haunted houses, Minus5º ICEBAR is offering an experience that’s truly “cool,” and no, we're not just talking about the vibe. This October, the famous ice lounge is serving up its latest masterpiece: the Desert Ghost Cocktail, part of their innovative FRESH & COOL bar program.
Minus5º ICEBAR has always been the go-to destination for those looking to escape the scorching desert sun, but this Halloween season, they're turning the cool factor up a notch. For a limited time, sip on the Desert Ghost, a cocktail that’s as eerie as it is exhilarating.
A Spooky Sip to Savor
At just $14, the Desert Ghost will send chills down your spine—not from fear, but from its icy perfection. This cocktail combines Ghost Spicy Blanco Tequila, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, and white cranberry juice, delivering a flavor profile that dances between tart and tantalizing. What sets this drink apart, though, is the hauntingly beautiful huckleberry syrup float that tops it off. The dark, rich syrup swirling atop the clear cocktail adds a visual thrill, resembling a ghostly apparition right before your eyes.
In true Minus5º fashion, this cocktail is served in a **hand-carved glass made entirely of ice**—because why settle for ordinary when you can sip from something that's literally as cool as it gets? The Desert Ghost isn’t just a drink; it’s a chilling experience perfect for spooky season selfies.
A Frozen Wonderland with a Twist
But the Desert Ghost is only one part of the larger magic happening at Minus5º ICEBAR. Known for their rotating ice sculptures and seasonal displays, Minus5º invites guests to step into a winter wonderland, no matter the time of year. Thanks to their Staying COOL re-theming program, returning visitors are treated to fresh ice displays every few months. From intricately carved sculptures to dazzling light shows, the bar continues to surprise and mesmerize its audience. So, even if you've visited before, expect an all-new frosty adventure each time you return.
"We love embracing the spirit of the season in creative and delicious ways," says Noel Bowman, partner of Minus5º ICEBAR. "The Desert Ghost is a perfect blend of Halloween fun and the unique experience we offer. Guests can enjoy this spooky yet refreshing drink while marveling at our frozen world of ice sculptures.”
Cool off, Vegas-Style!
The Desert Ghost Cocktail will be haunting the menus at all three Minus5º ICEBAR locations on the Las Vegas Strip, including Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, The LINQ Promenade, and Grand Canal Shoppes inside The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. With Halloween just around the corner, there’s no better time to grab your costume and your friends, and head over for some frosty, festive fun!
Why Houston Readers Should Care
While Houston might not have an ICEBAR of its own (yet), the buzz around Minus5º ICEBAR’s innovative approach to mixing cocktails with an arctic experience has us wondering—could the Bayou City be next for such a cool concept? One thing is for sure, the idea of sipping a spooky cocktail in sub-zero temps sounds like the perfect antidote to the infamous Houston heat!
Whether you're planning a Vegas trip this Halloween or simply dreaming of escaping the Houston humidity, Minus5º ICEBAR and the Desert Ghost Cocktail offer a refreshing reminder that great experiences are always around the corner—or just a short flight away!
