Jack Frost Cocktail

Embrace the winter blues this season with this boozy and blended Jack Frost cocktail. While some Jack Frost cocktails lean more towards the tropical side, we decided to keep things simple by adding bubbly Prosecco and sweet lemonade to this vodka cocktail. This blended drink has everything we could want in a winter cocktail: it’s frosty, festive, and boozy.  Serve it up as your signature Christmas drink, or just to treat yourself after surviving the holiday mayhem. Here’s everything you need to know: 

What's in a Jack Frost cocktail?
These cocktails get their sweet flavor and frosty color from Blue Curaçao, vodka, Prosecco, and lemonade. If you’re not a lemonade fan, try swapping it out for pineapple juice. As you might have guessed, these drinks are boozy, so be prepared if you're having more than a couple at your holiday party. 

The best alcohol for a Jack Frost cocktail?
The Blue Curaçao is not negotiable here: it’s what gives these drinks their signature color. But, if you’re more of a rum fan, feel free to swap out the vodka for a light rum if you’d prefer. Use your favorite bottle, or check out our list of the best vodka and best rum brands for inspo. 

How should I decorate the rim?
We decorated our rim with white sanding sugar to complete the frozen, frosty vibes, but feel free to customize it! Use a regular sugar rim if you can't find sanding sugar, or even make it tropical with a shredded coconut rim if you truly want to escape the winter blues. 

Can I make this on the rocks?
You can! Though one of the signature aspects of this drink is it's frozen frostiness, if you're just way more of an on the rocks person, skip the ice and blending. Combine your Blue Curaçao, vodka and lemonade in a shaker with ice, then top with Prosecco. 

Editor’s Note: After retesting this recipe based on user comments, we reduced the amount of ice in the ingredients.
