Ingredients
These ingredients come together to create a magical blue frostbite in a glass:
-
🧊 1 oz blue curaçao (for that iconic electric blue color)
-
🥛 1 oz cream or half-and-half (for smooth, luscious texture)
-
🧊 1 oz vodka (adds a clean kick)
-
🧊 1/2 oz peppermint schnapps (for a cool, wintry chill)
-
🍋 1/2 oz lemon juice (adds tart brightness)
-
🍬 1/2 oz simple syrup (to balance mint and citrus)
-
🫐 Blueberries or a sugar rim for garnish
-
🧊 Crushed ice or ice cubes for shaking
Instructions
Place your martini or coupe glass in the freezer for 10 minutes so it’s frosty and ready to serve the icy blue drink in style.
If desired, rim your glass with lemon juice and dip into blue sugar crystals or sanding sugar for extra sparkle and texture.
In a cocktail shaker, add blue curaçao, vodka, peppermint schnapps, lemon juice, simple syrup, and cream. Fill the shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until well chilled and lightly frothy.
Strain the mixture into your chilled, rimmed glass. The color should be icy blue with a dreamy, creamy swirl. You can also serve it over crushed ice in a rocks glass if preferred.
Top with a few fresh blueberries, a mint sprig, or even a small edible glitter sprinkle for a magical finish. Serve immediately and watch your guests’ faces light up.
