The Perfect Jack Frost Cocktail
In the dead of winter, there’s nothing more refreshing than a Jack Frost cocktail.
This icy beverage is perfect for the colder months.
But who was Jack Frost, and how did this drink come to be named after him?
Legend has it that Jack Frost was a mischievous spirit who loved to play tricks on people.
The legend originally comes from the Norse figure called Jokul Frosti, a wicked frost giant that become popular in Britain and North America as someone who played tricks during the winter.
Our Jack Frost cocktail is one of my favorite winter cocktails because it tastes so good. Similar to The Grinch Cocktail, it is a tropical treat that you could easily enjoy poolside in the summer too.

How To Rim Your Glass With Coconut
Although it is optional, adding the coconut to your glass is the perfect way to up the ante on your cocktail. Plus it only takes a couple of minutes!
All you need to do is pour some honey or light corn syrup onto a shallow saucer and some shredded coconut on another saucer.
First dip your glass in the honey and then in the coconut. Let the coconut set for a few minutes before serving your drink.
