Winter officially started today, and no other cocktail seemed more appropriate to celebrate the occasion than this FROZEN inspired cocktail. I originally created this cocktail after being greeted by 300+ Elsa’s on Halloween! Okay, that may have been a bit of an exaggeration, but I was seriously starting to think that Elsa costumes were the only ones available at the store…..
While I was pursuing Pinterest a few months ago, I came across a pretty blue cocktail that had been inspired by the movie FROZEN. I was intrigued, and knew that I wanted to make one. I thought that I had pinned it to my Cocktail Hour board, but it’s not there. 🙁 The only thing that I can remember, is that it had powdered sugar on the rim of the glass…..and it was blue, lol
So I decided to start playing around with different flavors and create my own version. It took a few tries, but the third time was a charm! I started with UV Blue Vodka and Whipped Vodka…it tasted somewhat like bubble gum…if bubble gum burned your tongue.
Second time around, I went with UV Blue Vodka and Malibu Coconut Rum…much better, but still missing something. My face was getting hot, and my brain was getting fuzzy, but I continued on with my third attempt…UV Blue Vodka and Malibu Coconut Rum, topped off with Jones Cream Soda {because it is clear}. Perfection!!
How to make a Frozen Inspired Cocktail:
Pour a small amount UV Blue Vodka into a small saucer. Dip the glass into the vodka, and allow the excess to drain off the glass…..
Pour some sifted powdered sugar into a second small saucer. Dip the glass into the powdered sugar, and set aside…..
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka and rum, shake to combine…..
Strain into the prepared glass, top off with cream soda and serve…..
I still have not seen the movie, but maybe it is time to grab and copy and watch it while enjoying one of these FROZEN Inspired Cocktails…or two. 😉

Why are you shaking vodka and rum? Since you’re not adding Citrus wouldn’t you just stir?
