Jack Frost Cocktail

Question 1

Can I make a Jack Frost Cocktail ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can prepare the liquid ingredients in advance (rum, Blue Curacao, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut) and store them in the fridge. Rim your glasses with coconut earlier in the day, then blend everything with ice right before serving to keep the drink slushy and fresh.

Question 2

What’s the difference between Blue Curacao and Blue Curacao syrup?

Accepted Answer

Blue Curacao is an alcoholic liqueur made from the dried peel of the Laraha citrus fruit, and it gives a mildly bitter orange flavor with a striking blue color. Blue Curacao syrup, on the other hand, is a non-alcoholic alternative used in mocktails. It’s sweeter and often used for color and aroma without the booze.

Question 3

Is this safe for kids if made without alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Simply leave out the rum and replace Blue Curacao with a non-alcoholic blue syrup. Kids love the look and taste of this fun, frosty drink when made as a mocktail. You can even top it with whipped cream or add fun straws for a festive presentation.

Question 4

Can I use coconut milk instead of cream of coconut?

Accepted Answer

You can, but the texture and sweetness will change. Cream of coconut is thicker and much sweeter, making it ideal for cocktails. If you’re using coconut milk, consider adding a touch of simple syrup to maintain the dessert-like flavor profile.
