Jack Frost Cocktail

This has been on my bucket list of cocktails to make forever.  A friend posted a picture of them on Facebook the other day and it jogged my memory to get on the ball and make ’em!  NOW I see (and TASTE) what all the hype is about.  OH. MY. WORD.

Your simple ingredients are:  Vodka (you can also use light rum), pineapple juice, cream of coconut, blue curacao, coconut and corn syrup for rimming the glass.  You’ll also need ice and a blender.  I find that dipping my glasses in a little corn syrup (or honey!) works awesome for making the coconut stick to the rim.

If you don’t want an icy cocktail, you can also make a martini out of the same ingredients.  In a shaker with ice, shake the vodka or rum, pineapple juice, cream of coconut and blue curacao and strain into a martini glass.

There are so many holiday cocktails I want to make this season, but I’m SOOOOO glad I made this one early-on so that I can share with you all if you haven’t tried it yet.  If you haven’t, make it a priority to put it on your holiday entertaining menu… NOW!

I always try to give proper credit for a recipe, but I can’t seem to find the true original source of the recipe (if you know it, please let me know!).  This recipe was adapted from Indlulgy.com and Tipsy Bartender.

Cheers and happy mixin’!  🙂

    I am making these for a holiday party tomorrow and chose this recipe over all others primarily due to the gorgeous photo! The approachable ingredients and comments helped too. I will post my guests comments for others to read after the party. Thanks for the recipe!

    My daughter just made this for Christmas. Absolutely devine even without the rim garnish. Would definitely make this mix again!
    They are really sweet so if you don’t like a lot of sweetness drink it before the slush melts.

    I am SUPER late in reviewing this! I made this last Christmas and everyone loved it. By far the most gorgeous, tasty, cocktail I’ve ever had. It’s on our menu again for this year! 🙂

    Can this be made in a margarita maker. I brought all the ingredients and I want to have fun with it. I never used the margarita maker so this is all new for me I just didn’t feel like having margaritas.

    You could try orange to have an alcohol free version with blue from red cabbage and bicarbonate. Not sure how the colour would go with the orange-maybe fine zest instead

      Hey Feisty, I’ve never made it alcohol free so I can’t say for sure. I’d try using 2 cups of pineapple juice and skipping the vodka and blue curacao. Hope you enjoy! 🙂

    Hi, I love this recipe. I was wondering if you could use Malibu Coconut flavored Rum. (Or any brand of coconut rum) with this?
    Thanks a bunch.

      Hey Mary, thanks so much. I’ve used regular white rum in this recipe but have never used coconut rum. I think it might be too much coconut flavor with the cream of coconut, but it all depends on your personal preference. Let me know how it turns out if you try it with coconut rum. Hope you enjoy them and cheers! 🙂

    Hi, this sounds great but do you think I could make it as a punch also or do you think it would be to sweet without the crushing of the ice?
    Thanks

      Hi Jim, I wrote in the blog post it can also be prepared without ice as a martini: “If you don’t want an icy cocktail, you can also make a martini out of the same ingredients. In a shaker with ice, shake the vodka or rum, pineapple juice, cream of coconut and blue curacao and strain into a martini glass.”

      Hope you enjoy and Merry Christmas! 🙂

    I love the color. Any ideas on how you could make this non-alcoholic for those of us who are on meds and can’t drink alcohol right now?

    • Amy @ The Blond Cook says

      Hi Norma, I’ve never made this as non-alcoholic so I can’t say with certainty. The blue curacao is what makes it the pretty blue color, but is alcoholic. Possibly blend ice, cream of coconut and pineapple juice together with a little blue food coloring? But again I can’t give specific amounts of ingredients to make a non-alcoholic version because I’ve never made it. Let me know how it turns out if you try it! 🙂

    Can I make this and freeze it? Then serve it later… I want to bring it to my office party but don’t want to have to bring everything there and make it.

      Hi Laura, that sounds like a fun office party! 🙂 I’ve put the pitcher in the freezer for only about 15 minutes before serving. If you freeze it completely I would defrost it to the consistency that you desire before serving, and I don’t know how long that will take because I’ve never frozen it completely. I also can’t say with certainty how it will taste because I’ve never served it more than 15 minutes after making. Let me know how it turns out if you try freezing it and hope everyone enjoys it!
