How to Make a Jack Frost Cocktail
Here are the steps needed to make a Jack Frost winter cocktail. If you want to add the rim, ensure that you do that before you prepare the drink.
Step 1: Blend. Add all of the cocktail ingredients plus ice to your blender.
Step 2: Serve. Then, blend until smooth and pour into your cocktail glasses. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Making it ahead: Prepare this frosty drink a few hours in advance and store it in a pitcher in the freezer. Allow it to sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes to become slushy again.
- Chill the glasses: I like to stick the serving glasses in the refrigerator before serving to chill them. It keeps the cocktail cold longer.
- Don't let the ice melt: Avoid grabbing the ice until you're ready to blend the drink. You don't want them to start to melt, as it will change the consistency.

Recipe FAQs
I don't recommend it. It will melt and separate in the refrigerator. This recipe is best made no more than a couple of hours before serving; then, discard any leftovers.
If you use coconut milk instead of cream of coconut, this can cause the beverage to separate. Check the label!
Coconut cream is thick and unsweetened, while cream of coconut is syrupy and sweet. You may use coconut cream if you want a less-sweet version.
