The Jack Frost Cocktail is a festive and refreshing drink that captures the spirit of winter in every sip. With its vibrant blue hue and frosty appearance, this cocktail is as visually stunning as it is delicious. A delightful blend of vodka, blue curaçao, pineapple juice, and creamy coconut, the Jack Frost Cocktail offers a perfect balance of tropical flavors and wintery charm.

Ideal for holiday parties or cozy nights by the fire, this cocktail is sure to add a touch of magic to any winter celebration.

This Jack Frost cocktail is such a delicious drink. I ask myself all the time when I make it, “Why do we drink it only in the winter? Is it because of the name?”

I’m thinking, yes. But you know what? I’ve tasted this delicious cocktail, so I know how well it goes in the summer when it’s warm. The flavors lend themself to a cocktail you’d enjoy on a tropical island.

But also, I can attest that this frosty drink is fun and delicious around Christmas time.

Vodka vs rum

Some people make this delicious pretty blue drink with vodka. And while that is good, in my opinion, this drink is BETTER with rum. And not just regular ole rum, but coconut rum which makes it glorious!!

But don’t just take my word for it. Make it and see!

Helpful tips

• Cream of coconut is not coconut cream that you would put in a curry. You can buy this in the cocktail section of a grocery store or a liquor store.
• I usually buy pineapple juice in small cans because, unless I’m having a party that will use up the big can, leftover pineapple juice isn’t as good as the day you open the can. This way there isn’t any waste.
• If you don’t have coconut rum, you can also use light rum instead. You will get the coconut taste from the cream of coconut, BUT you’ll get an even deeper coconut taste with appropriate rum.

How to mix this frozen Jack Frost cocktail

Pre-step

Get your blender container, measuring glass, and glassware.

After measuring out each ingredient, pour into the blender container.

Step one

Gather the ingredients – coconut rum, blue curacao liqueur, cream of coconut (which is NOT coconut cream), and pineapple juice. (A)

For the garnish, also gather simple syrup and shredded coconut or coconut flakes.

Step two

Measure out 2 ounces of coconut rum. (B)

Step three

Measure out 2 ounces of blue Curacao. (C)

Step four

Measure 2 ounces of cream of coconut. (D)

Step five

Measure out 4 ounces of pineapple juice. (E)

Take a gander at the blender container below. Doesn’t it look fun with the layers?

Step six

Pour a little shredded coconut on a small plate.

Take your finger and wet it with simple syrup. Run your finger around the top and outside rim of both glasses. Roll the glass rim side down in the coconut, shake off any excess, and set aside.

Here is the blender without the ice. Still pretty. (F)

I add 2 to 3 cups of ice into the blender, cap it, and blend it all until it is smooth and thick.

Divide and pour the frozen concoction between the two glasses, being careful not to pour over the coconut rims.

So delicious.

I hope you enjoyed this Jack Frost cocktail recipe as much as I enjoyed drinking it!
