Summer is just around the corner, which means it’s time to start indulging in those grown up frozen cocktails. There is nothing more refreshing (or nostalgic) than a summer cocktail that stays iced cold for as long as it takes you to finish it. Sure, you could opt for a frozen margarita but why not step up your summer cocktail game with some ice pops or cold brew frozen cocktails?
JAMESON GINGER ICE POPS
There is nothing more nostalgic than an ice pop during the hot summer heat. Moreover, there is nothing more refreshing, to us, than an ice pop with a little booze in it. It’s the perfect way to enjoy a cocktail on the go. Scrolling the internet you will notice lots of recipes of cocktail iced pops, so we found our favourite to make it easier for you. The Jameson Ginger Ice Pop is the perfect combo of sweet, sour and spicy – thanks to the ginger and lime.
Recipe:
- 1 part Jameson Original Whiskey
- 2 part ginger ale
- 1 squeeze fresh lime juice
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a jug.
2. Pour into popsicle mold.
3. Freeze overnight.
Note: if you don’t have a popsicle mold, you can use dixie cups and popsicle sticks.
JAMESON COLD BREW FROZEN DALGONA COFFEE
We love our cold brew all year round, so it should come as no surprise that we picked the Jameson Cold Brew Frozen Coffee as one of our go-to frozen cocktails for summer. This icy adult beverage is the perfect combo of smooth cold brew coffee and sweet cinnamon flavours. And the shot of Jameson Cold Brew just amps it up a notch.
Recipe:
- 1 part Jameson Cold Brew Irish Whiskey
- 2 parts instant coffee
- 2 parts granulated sugar
- 2 parts hot water
- 3 parts milk of your choice
- 1 part cinnamon
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine instant coffee, sugar and hot water. Whisk until light and fluffy.
2. Freeze fluff overnight.
3. In a tall glass, fill 3/4 of the way with 3 parts of your choice of milk and 1 part Jameson Cold Brew.
4. Add frozen coffee fluff on top.
5. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
ONE OF THE CLASSIC FROZEN COCKTAILS: A JULEP
Now the Mint Julep just might be the classic frozen cocktail that we often forget is basically a grown-up slushy. With its crushed ice and minty flavours, the Julep is a great way to cool down on a hot summer day. But did you know that this cocktail has been a go to summer beverage in the south since 1850. We love this new take on the Julep called the Honey Julep; Jameson Black Barrel, honey and mint – three simple ingredients for such a tasty tipple. Enjoy!
Recipe:
- 1.75 parts Jameson Black Barrel Whiskey
- 0.75 honey syrup
- crushed ice
- mint sprigs
Directions:
1. Lightly press and roll mint leaves along edge of julep cup.
2. Half fill glass with crushed ice.
3. Pour in the honey syrup and Jameson Black Barrel.
4. Stir the cup until the outside looks frosty.
5. Add mint sprig garnish.
To make syrup: In medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together honey and water until honey dissolves. Increase heat slightly, then simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate syrup until cold, about 2 hours.
