Q: How can I make the Jack Frost Cocktail non-alcoholic?
A: Omit the rum and Blue Curaçao. Replace them with a mix of a blue sports drink (like blue Gatorade) or blue Hawaiian punch and a splash of lemon-lime soda for the fun color and sweetness.
Q: What can I use instead of Blue Curaçao?
A: If you don’t have Blue Curaçao, you can use a blue raspberry syrup for a non-alcoholic version or try a small amount of blue food coloring to keep the color while substituting with triple sec or another orange liqueur.
Q: Can I prepare the Jack Frost Cocktail in advance?
A: Yes, you can blend the cocktail ahead of time and store it in the freezer. When ready to serve, re-blend for a smooth, slushy texture.
