Ingredients
  

For the Cocktail
  • 1 ounce Pineapple Juice Provides fruity sweetness; substitute with orange juice for a different flavor profile.
  • 1 ounce Vodka Acts as the primary alcohol base; can be swapped with rum or tequila for varied taste.
  • 1 ounce Blue Curacao Adds the signature blue color and a hint of orange flavor; for a non-alcoholic version, consider using blue sports drink.
  • 1 ounce Cream de Coconut (Coconut Cream) Adds creaminess and rich coconut flavor; almond milk or coconut milk can be used for a lighter option.
For the Glass Rims
  • 4 tablespoons Vanilla Frosting Used for rimming the glasses to enhance the sweetness; cream cheese frosting can be a tangy twist.
  • ½ cup White/Clear Sanding Sugar For rimming the glasses, providing festive sweetness; can be replaced with coarse sea salt for a contrasting taste.

Equipment

  • cocktail shaker
  • shot glasses
  • small knife or spatula

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Jack Frost Shots
  1. Start by rimming your shot glasses with a layer of vanilla frosting. Use a small knife or spatula to apply a thin coating of frosting around the rim, ensuring it’s even. Next, dip each rim into the white sanding sugar, twisting gently to coat thoroughly. Set the glasses aside so the frosting can set while you prepare the cocktail.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the pineapple juice, vodka, Blue Curacao, and cream de coconut. Fill the shaker with ice until half full. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels cold and frosty.
  3. Once thoroughly mixed, strain the vibrant blue cocktail into your prepared shot glasses. Fill each glass almost to the top, but avoid overfilling to prevent spills. Optionally, garnish with a small dollop of whipped cream on top.
  4. Serve these eye-catching Jack Frost Shots immediately to ensure the best flavor and frothy texture.
