Easy Jack Frost Mocktail (Print version)

A frosty blue pineapple coconut mocktail with a snowy coconut rim, ready in 5 minutes for holiday parties.

# Ingredients:

For the coconut rim

01 - 2 tablespoons light corn syrup or honey

02 - 1/3 cup (30 g) sweetened coconut flakes

For the mocktail

03 - 6 cups (840 g) ice cubes

04 - 1 cup (240 ml) chilled pineapple juice

05 - 1/2 cup (120 ml) cream of coconut, stirred well

06 - 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, optional

07 - 5-8 drops blue food coloring

08 - Pineapple wedges or maraschino cherries, optional for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Pour the corn syrup onto a small plate and place the coconut flakes on a second plate. Dip the rim of each glass into the syrup, then press into the coconut to coat.

02 - Add the pineapple juice, cream of coconut, lime juice if using, ice, and 5 drops of blue food coloring to a blender.

03 - Blend on high until the mixture is smooth, thick, and slushy, about 30-45 seconds. Stop and scrape once if needed.

04 - Add more blue food coloring 1 drop at a time for a deeper blue. Add a few ice cubes for a thicker drink or a splash of pineapple juice if it is too thick to pour.

05 - Pour immediately into the coconut-rimmed glasses. Garnish with pineapple wedges or cherries if desired and serve while icy.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served immediately after blending.

02 - Chill the pineapple juice before blending for a thicker slush.

03 - Cream of coconut is sweetened and different from unsweetened coconut cream.
