White Shivers Cocktail (and Mocktail)
A frozen coconut rum cocktail for Halloween can be made without the rum for a mocktail treat!
Equipment
- blender or immersion blender
Ingredients
- 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) coconut rum (approximately 30 milliliters) Omit this ingredient for a mocktail.
- 3 tablespoons cream of coconut* (approximately 44 milliliters)
- 1 handful ice cubes (approximately 5-6 large cubes)
- honey or corn syrup (optional for rim of the glass)
- black sugar crystals (optional for rim of the glass)
- maraschino cherry juice (optional)
Instructions
- Add the sugar crystals to the rim of the glass before you make the drinks. Use your finger or a small paintbrush to paint honey (or corn syrup) around the outside of the glass about 1/4 inch (6 mm) down from the rim. It should be a thin coat so it doesn't run. Pour sugar crystals into a small bowl and stick the glass top into the crystals, swirling the glass to coat.
- Add the rum, cream of coconut, and ice cubes to a blender and blend until the ice is like snow. This is a stiff cocktail and should not be runny. Add additional ice cubes if necessary to get a stiff consistency.
- Pour the cocktail into the prepared glass and serve with a straw. Add a splash of maraschino cherry juice to the top of the drink for a “bloody” Halloween drink.
