Can I make this recipe non-alcoholic?

Yes! Simply replace the mango liqueur, vodka, and Curaçao with flavored syrups (like mango, vanilla, or blue raspberry). The texture and color stay just as fun.

Can I use ice cream instead of sorbet or crushed ice?

Absolutely. Ice cream gives it a richer texture, though it won’t slush the same. For an ultra-creamy lush, use rainbow sherbet or soft vanilla ice cream.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Most ingredients are naturally gluten-free, but double-check your vodka and liqueur brands to confirm. The coconut cream and juices are usually safe.

What if I don’t want to use food coloring?

You can skip it! The natural colors of your ingredients still layer beautifully, especially if you use vibrant juices or sorbets.

Can I use fresh coconut instead of coconut cream?

Yes—but blend it thoroughly with a bit of water and strain well for smoothness. Or keep it rustic and pulpy for a more tropical texture. Looking for more color? Try Tropical Galaxy Mocktail or take it wild with Cotton Candy Jungle Juice .

Sun Kissed Frost Lush Recipe – 3-Layer Blissful Delight

Description

This sun kissed frost lush recipe blends pastel layers of tropical flavor with coconut cream, pineapple juice, and colorful liqueurs—finished with whipped cream and glitter.

Ingredients

Scale

1 oz mango liqueur

1 oz vanilla vodka

1 oz blue curaçao

2 oz coconut cream (chilled, sweetened preferred)

2 oz pineapple juice

1 cup crushed ice (or rainbow sorbet base)

Food coloring (optional – pink, blue, yellow)

Whipped cream (for topping)

Edible glitter or tropical candy (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In three small bowls, mix equal parts of the coconut cream and pineapple juice. Add a few drops of food coloring to each—one pink, one blue, one yellow—and stir gently.

2. In a blender, add ⅓ of the crushed ice, one colored base, and one spirit (mango liqueur for pink, vanilla vodka for yellow, blue curaçao for blue). Blend until slushy. Repeat for each layer and set aside.

3. Using a spoon or piping bag, layer the slushy mixtures into a clear glass. Create stripes or gently swirl for a marbled look.

4. Add a swirl of whipped cream on top and finish with edible glitter, tropical candies, or flower petals.

5. Serve immediately or freeze briefly to firm it up.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, use flavored syrups instead of liqueurs. To make it dairy-free, swap coconut cream with a plant-based alternative.
