Talk about a cool photo shoot! Luxor headliner and zany props comic Carrot Top donned a fur coat and gloves in yesterday’s 100-plus-degree temperatures to launch his signature drink inside Minus 5 Lounge, as did contributing photographer Erik Kabik to get these shots without freezing.

The comedian has named his drink Heat Miser, and it’s served only at the 2,000-square-foot ice lounge in The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, the first permanent ice lounge of its kind in America. Fans snapped photos when Carrot Top, aka Scott Thompson, took a shot of Crown Royal , one of the ingredients in Heat Miser, through the ice sculpture bust at the bar.

The Ice Lounge Penguin visited when Scott got behind the bar to created his drinks. Carrot Top’s drink joins Holly Madison and Human Nature’s creations. Thanks to Christopher Rauschnot @24kMedia on Twitter for his video posted on YouTube.
