How The Hot Frosty Melting Snowman Cocktail Was Inspired
Scrolling Netflix my husband and I ran across a Christmas movie called “Hot Frosty.” It is about a snowman that melts and is shirtless most of the movie. I was in the middle of planning a Cupcakes and Cocktails Holiday Birthday party for my dear friend Jess, my husband suggested I use ice cream to make a melting snowman in a glass. I took it from there and decided on a lemon or coconut sorbet for the melting snowman with a splash of prosecco just before serving. To make it a HOT Frosty! I added HOT little men in bathing suits.

Note: In the photos there are two different glasses used. The coupe glasses are a vintage antique find. The wine glasses I used are the polka dot Kate Spade Wine glasses. A wine glass is a great alternative when you are serving over 15 and you want your glasses to match. I purchased them at Home Goods.
Hot Frosty Instructions
Beginning Notes! It is important to work quickly. Avoid concern when the Hot Frosty snowmen melt a bit in the glass. That is part of the charm. The snowmen melt and turn into a Hot Frosty climbing out of the glass. 😉
Prepare a place in your freezer that will hold your Hot Frosty Cocktail glasses. I recommend using a baking sheet to set them on.
WORK AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE! Using a 2 tablespoon scoop, scoop two lemon sorbet balls and stack them in the bottom of a cocktail glass. Then using the a 1 tablespoon scoop, scoop just one sorbet ball. Stick a carrot in the ball for the snowman nose and two chocolate chips for the eyes. Carefully place the snowman head on top of the two stacked sorbet balls. Hang a drink buddy on the cup and place in the prepared place in your freezer for at least 2 hours.
Before serving, pop the cork/s on your bubbles. Remove the snowmen from the freezer. Top with prosecco or champagne. Enjoy!
Hot Frosty Cocktail Recipe Variations
- Use raisins for the snowman eyes.
- Swap prosecco for champagne.
- Swap the lemon sorbet for coconut sorbet.
