Blue Glacier Drink
The Blue Glacier Cocktail is a festive, wintery drink that is perfect for the holidays!
The Blue Glacier
This bright blue drink looks like winter in a glass! So we named it the “Blue Glacier Cocktail” because it just screams icy and deliciousness!
It is the perfect tasty cocktail for the holidays, from Christmas to New Years and everything in-between!
You only need a few simple ingredients to mix up this drink, and it is easy to make in a big batch to serve a crowd. You can easily make a pitcher and keep it in the fridge to stay chilly.
This would be such a fun drink to serve this holiday season for something different from the usual red and green colored refreshments.

- 2 oz vodka

Helpful Kitchen Tools
- Cocktail Shaker I worked as a bartender for years during and after college and the Boston Shaker is my favorite tool! It’s simple and easy to use!
Instructions
- Run a lime along the rim of a tall glass and press the rim into a saucer filled with coarse sugar.
- Add liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Shake vigorously, until the outside of the shaker starts to get frosty, then empty the contents of the shaker into a cocktail glass.
- Top with lemon-lime soda.
Prep Tips
- When mixing cocktails, I normally don’t recommend shaking for more than a few seconds, just enough to chill the drink. Over-shaking can break up the ice, creating a frosty effect, but that is perfect for this particular drink!
- Instead of using sugar for the rim, you can use shredded coconut for a similar snowy experience!
- If you don’t have white cranberry juice on hand, you can substitute with another light-colored juice. White grape juice, pineapple juice, or sweet and sour could all work.
