You were just a kid when summer was your favorite season, full of breaks from school, pool parties and family trips to the town ice cream parlor. Now you’re working to save up for an air conditioner and still paying off student loans. Sure, the days of sleeping in and building sandcastles may be long gone, replaced by sweltering subway stops and chub rub, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a taste of that childhood summer fun. Shecky’s has rounded up mouth-watering treats you loved as a kid with a mature (read: alcoholic) makeover you’ll love as an adult. From alcohol-infused milkshakes to ice pops, spiked snow cones to egg creams, these treats will take your taste buds back in time quicker than you can say “Benjamin Button!”
