Frosty reception
This cute little fella was the big hit of last year’s seasonal cocktail menu at Dublin’s Morrison hotel.
Mr Frosty may look innocent, but as well as vanilla ice cream and cream, he contains vodka and Bailey’s. He’s back with Jingle Jilly, who has rum, lime juice, strawberry ice cream and cream. Both are a cool €9.50. morrisonhotel.ie
