What Is a Jack Frost Cocktail?
The Jack Frost Cocktail is a holiday drink made with blue curaçao, pineapple juice, coconut cream (or cream of coconut), and vodka (or rum). Blended until smooth and icy, then served in a coconut-rimmed glass, it’s part tropical getaway, part winter wonderland.
Ingredients (Exact)
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- ½ cup cream of coconut (like Coco López)
- ¼ cup vodka (or white rum)
- ¼ cup blue curaçao
- 2 cups ice cubes
- Sweetened shredded coconut (for rim)
- Honey or corn syrup (to help rim stick)
How to Make the Jack Frost Cocktail
- Prepare the glass – Spread honey or corn syrup around the rim of your cocktail glass. Dip into shredded coconut to create a frosty “snow rim.”
- Blend the cocktail – In a blender, combine pineapple juice, cream of coconut, vodka (or rum), blue curaçao, and ice. Blend until smooth and slushy.
- Serve & garnish – Pour into prepared glasses, garnish with pineapple wedges or festive stirrers, and enjoy immediately.
Tips & Variations
- Make it stronger – add an extra splash of vodka for a boozier version.
- Mocktail version – replace vodka and blue curaçao with blue sports drink or blue raspberry syrup for a kid-friendly twist.
- Frosty pitcher – scale up the recipe and blend in batches to serve at parties.
- Extra creamy – add a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk for a silkier texture.
FAQs
Can I make Jack Frost Cocktails ahead of time?
They’re best enjoyed fresh, but you can pre-mix the liquid ingredients (without ice) and store in the fridge. Blend with ice just before serving.
What alcohol is best – vodka or rum?
Vodka gives a cleaner taste, while rum adds more tropical flavor. Either works!
Does it really taste like coconut?
Yes – the cream of coconut gives it a sweet, creamy coconut flavor that pairs beautifully with pineapple and citrus.
