This is not your run-of-the-mill mimosa! Isn’t it beautiful? Be prepared for oohs and aahs when you serve icy cold Jack Frost mimosas. And Mr. Frost isn’t just a pretty face — he comes through with plenty of exciting flavor, too. Everyone expects eggnog during the holidays, surprise them with this fun drink too! How long it takes: 5 minutes Equipment you’ll need: cocktail shaker, champagne flute (opt.) Servings: 1 cocktail (with directions for how to make a pitcher, too) Pineapple, coconut, rum are lightened up with addition of bubbly prosecco. The distinctive blue color comes from Blue Curaçao, (pronounced Cure’-a-sow) a citrus based liqueur, similar to Triple Sec. It’s an essential fun ingredient in many cocktails, including a Blue Hawaiian, Blue Lagoon, Bluebird, or a Blue Motorcycle. You’ll also find it in this Mermaid Lemonade (with a cotton candy twist!)
About this Jack Frost mimosa
This cocktail is based on the simple formula for a mimosa: orange juice and prosecco. The orange juice is replaced by pineapple juice, enhanced with cream of coconut and Blue Curaçao, and fortified with white rum. Bubbly prosecco is added to lighten everything up and give the cocktail a bit of fizz. This drink is served ice cold, of course. What else would you expect from Jack Frost? Get out your cocktail shaker, add plenty of fresh ice, and shake up a chilly winter cocktail! If you want to build on the “chilly” theme, serve these darling snowman Oreo pops with your Jack Frost mimosas. Lofthouse cookies decorated with blue and white sprinkles are a fun go-along, too.
What’s in a Jack Frost cocktail?
Pineapple juice White rum Blue Curaçao Coco Real Cream of Coconut drink mix (no substitutions) Prosecco Simple syrup and coconut flakes, for rim garnish (optional, but so fun!)
How to make this cocktail your own
Make a large batch by adding the rum, pineapple juice, Blue Curaçao, and coconut cream to a large pitcher and chilling for 1 to 2 hours. To serve, pour into glasses and top with prosecco just before enjoying. You can make 12 to 13 servings with one 750ml bottle of prosecco. If you don’t care for prosecco, substitute champagne, or omit the bubbly altogether. For a less “fortified” cocktail, omit the white rum. The garnish on the rim of simple syrup and coconut is optional. Or, if you don’t have simple syrup but still like the garnish, substitute plain water or pineapple juice. Don’t have a cocktail shaker? Make sure all your ingredients are ice cold and your drink will turn out fine.
Make-Ahead Tips
Stir everything except the prosecco together and refrigerate until ready to serve. Prepare glasses, pour in mixture, and top with prosecco.
