Boardwalk refreshments (4)
I believe the answer is:
ices
'boardwalk refreshments' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for ices that I've seen before include "Kills (slang) - sweets" , "summer refreshment" , "Cold refreshments" , "Decorates cakes with frosting" , "Cones etc" .)
