Melting Snowman Mocktail

I think I found my new favorite winter mocktail! I couldn’t resist creating the Melting Snowman Mocktail – a whimsical drink that embodies the magic of the holidays. The combination of whipped topping, Frosty the Snowman Marshmallows, and Santa Hat Sprinkle elevates this drink into an adorable winter masterpiece! I combined the timeless charm of a snowman with the tropical twist of coconut, the zing of pineapple, and a hint of comforting vanilla for a drink the whole family can enjoy. I had homemade simple syrup on hand, but you can always grab store bought. This mocktail isn’t just a drink, it’s also totally Insta-worthy!

Ingredients for the Melting Snowman Mocktail

• Coconut Water: A hydrating base for the mocktail. I had Vita Coco on hand.
• Coconut Milk: I used full fat for a creamy and luxurious richness, but you can use light as well. Make sure to use unsweetened.
• Pineapple Juice: Infuse a burst of tropical sweetness with pineapple juice, for a zing that complements the coconut base.
• Simple Syrup: Elevate the sweetness level and create a perfect harmony of flavors. You can also use agave here.
• Pure Vanilla Extract: A hint of vanilla adds warmth and comfort.
• Whipped Topping: Crown the mocktail with a cloud of whipped topping. I used Cool Whip.
• Frosty The Snowman Marshmallows: These delightful marshmallows add a touch of winter magic.
• Santa Hat Sprinkle Mix: Elevate the visual appeal with these festive sprinkles.
• Rosemary Sprig: A fragrant and visually appealing garnish that completes the wintry scene.

How to Make the Melting Snowman Mocktail

Crafting this wintry mocktail is as easy as building a snowman! Begin by shaking up coconut water, coconut milk, pineapple juice, simple syrup, and a dash of pure vanilla extract in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake until the outside of the shaker is chilled.

Next strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. Crown with a generous layer of whipped topping.

Gently place a Frosty The Snowman Marshmallow on top, arranging it to look like a melting snowman. Sprinkle Santa Hat Sprinkles over the whipped topping. Last, add a rosemary sprig to complete the snowman’s look!
