This creation is something that helps keep Carrot Top cool on hot summer nights and is sure to please. Other cocktails that have been inspired by celebrities include the Holly Mad-ICE-on (Holly Madison) and the Inhumane Nature (Human Nature).

I caught up with Carrot Top at Minus5 Ice Lounge today for these COOL shots! We all suited up in our cold weather jackets and gloves and headed into the Ice Lounge. Some fans snapped pix with Carrot Top before he took a shot of Crown Royal (one the main ingredients for his signature drink) through the ice sculpture bust at the bar. He then got behind the bar where he mixed up one of his signature Heat Miser drinks. The fun ensured as we were visited by the Ice Lounge penguin and in true Carrot Top fashion he made sure I left with a wealth of great shots. — Erik Kabik

Becoming a pop culture icon is a difficult thing to achieve but Scott “Carrot Top” Thompson has done just that. With over two decades of comedic performance in his rear view mirror, Carrot Top is one of the most popular, recognizable and successful comedians in America. After years of playing out to sold-out shows throughout the country, he has now become a Las Vegas icon as well, recently inking a long-term deal with the Luxor Resort and Casino.

The first permanent ice lounge of its kind in the U.S., the 2,000 sq. ft. Minus5 Ice Lounge is a sub-freezing ice lounge. Guests are invited to come in from the Las Vegas 100-degree heat and don Minus5-issued parkas and booties over their t-shirts and flip-flops. Then the arctic adventure begins, as patrons enter the ethereal blue and white world of the shimmering Minus5 ice lounge. Admission into the ice lounge is $25 and includes a cocktail.
