Step 3: Strain the cocktail into your prepared glass.

How to Serve
The Jack Frost Mimosa is best served chilled immediately after making. But you can also prepare a large batch in advance and keep it chilled until ready to serve.
This cocktail pairs well with a variety of appetizers and festive holiday dishes. Try serving it alongside a Christmas charcuterie board, some cheese and crackers, or mini quiches for a complete party experience.
Storage
The Jack Frost Mimosa is best enjoyed fresh, so storing any leftovers is not recommended. However, if you do have some extra, keep it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just be sure to give them a good shake before serving again.
Substitutions and Variations
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace the prosecco with club soda or sparkling water, leave out the blue curacao, and use a splash of orange juice instead.
- Want to make it stronger? Add in an extra splash of blue curacao, or top off with more prosecco. Just be sure not to overdo it!
- For a fun twist, try rimming the glass with sugar instead of shredded coconut.
- Get creative and add some garnishes like a pineapple wedge or a sprig of rosemary for an extra festive touch.
- You can also swap out the pineapple juice for other fruit juices like orange, mango, or cranberry for a different flavor.
- If you can’t find coco real, you can substitute with coconut cream or coconut milk.
- Prefer a sweeter drink, add a touch of simple syrup or honey to taste. Just keep in mind that the coco real and blue curacao already have some sweetness to them.
Recipe Tips
- To make multiple Jack Frost Mimosas at once, simply multiply the ingredient quantities accordingly and use a larger cocktail shaker or mixing bowl. Just be sure to add enough ice to chill all of the ingredients at once.
- If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, you can use a large mason jar with a secure lid instead. Make sure it’s well sealed before shaking to avoid any spills.
- For an even more festive touch, add some edible glitter or sparkly sugar to your rimming mixture for a shimmery effect.
- If you’re serving these at a holiday party, consider adding a festive garnish, such as cranberries or rosemary sprigs, to the glass for extra holiday spirit.
- For extra frosty vibes, freeze your glass ahead of time. Just make sure it’s not too cold to prevent cracking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! You can also use coarse sugar or colored sprinkles for a fun and festive touch. Just be sure to coat the rim evenly and gently tap off any excess.
This is a matter of personal preference, but any dry or extra-dry sparkling wine will work well. Prosecco, Cava, and Champagne are all great options.
