As the festive season approaches, it’s time to bring a little winter magic to the home bar. Enter the Jack Frost Spritz – an eye-catching, vibrant blue creation that tastes just as enchanting as it looks.
While traditional Jack Frost cocktails rely on heavy cream of coconut and pineapple juice, this spritz variation keeps things light, crisp, and effervescent. Floral elderflower liqueur balances out the subtle orange notes of Blue Curaçao, while Prosecco and a splash of soda give it a light, celebratory fizz. Finished with a frosted sugar rim, a shimmer of edible glitter, and aromatic winter garnishes, it’s the ultimate festive party serve.

Jack Frost Spritz Cocktail Recipe
Only eight steps to make the perfect Jack Frost Spritz!
- Run the rim on a plate of sugar syrup.
- Dip the wet rim into a small plate of white caster sugar until evenly coated to create a snow-frosted edge.
- Carefully place a small handful of ice cubes into the centre of the glass (avoiding the sugar rim).
- Pour in 100ml of chilled Prosecco, followed by 50ml of elderflower liqueur and 25ml of Blue Curaçao.
- Dust in a tiny pinch of edible glitter. Give the drink a very gentle stir with a bar spoon or straw to swirl the blue colour and sparkle together.
- Top up with soda water.
- Float your star anise on top and nestle a fresh sprig of rosemary into the ice.

FAQs
Where do I find edible glitter, and is it safe?
You can find edible dust or food-grade glitter in the baking aisle of most major supermarkets or online. Always ensure it says “100% Edible” rather than just “non-toxic decorative dust.” A tiny pinch goes a long way!
Can I make a big pitcher of this for a party?
Yes! Scale up the elderflower, Blue Curaçao, and edible glitter in a large glass jug with ice. Pour into pre-rimmed glasses when guests arrive, and top each glass individually with a splash of soda water, prosecco and fresh garnishes.
