Jack Frost Cocktail
This Jack Frost cocktail recipe is so delicious that you will want it year round, not just in the winter. It’s tasty and pretty!
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? That would be a crying shame; an opportunity to have a sob fest, complete with beating the chest, rending the clothes and pulling the hair.
Does that sound extreme to you?
Yes, it does to me, too, but I’ve tasted this delicious cocktail, so I know how wrong it is to drink it only during the winter months.
Here’s more proof that you should drink it year round; wouldn’t a frozen cocktail be BETTER in the summer when it’s hot outside and not freezing cold?
You could argue that we would drink this delicious Jack Frost cocktail inside during the winter, where it is warm. But imagine drinking it outside at the side of the pool or on the veranda!
Perfect either way.

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! It is glorious!! Simply glorious. But don’t just take my word for it. Make it and see!
Helpful tips
- Cream of coconut is not coconut cream. You can buy this in the cocktail section of a grocery store or in a liquor store.
- I usually buy pineapple juice in the 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.
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 blender container.
Step one
Gather the ingredients – coconut rum, blue curacao, cream of coconut (which is NOT coconut cream) and pineapple juice.
For the garnish, also gather simple syrup and shredded coconut.
Step two
Measure out 2 ounces of coconut rum.
Step three
Measure out 2 ounces of blue Curacao.
Step four
Measure 2 ounces of cream of coconut.
Step five
Measure out 4 ounces of pineapple juice.
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 on 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.
I add 2 to 3 cups of ice into the blender, cap it and blend it all until it is smooth and thick. At this point, I coat the rims of my glasses with unsweetened coconut.
Divide the frozen concoction between the two glasses, being careful not to pour over the coconut rims.
And one more photo.
Yummy! I hope you enjoyed this recipe as much as I enjoyed drinking it!

After running through the list of ingredients, I think this should be called “Sea Mist” and would be an absolute requirement for our weekend pool parties from June through August!
