Gatorade Frost

Frost is a Gatorade-branded bottled drink. The listing places it with the mixers, and that is how this copy treats it. The details on file don't give a flavor, bottle size or ingredient list, so check the label for those. Gatorade's Frost drinks are generally sold as lightly sweet, citrus- or berry-leaning flavors in a pale, cool-toned color. Expect a clean, fairly sweet profile with little carbonation or bitterness, so treat it as a soft-drink mixer. It isn't a dry soda or tonic. Serve it well chilled, straight from the fridge or over plenty of ice, since the flavor tastes sharper and less sugary when it's cold. As a mixer, it suits clear spirits that won't fight a sweet, fruity base. Vodka and white rum are the usual choices, in a tall highball built over ice at roughly one part spirit to three or four parts Frost. If the result tastes sweet, a squeeze of fresh lime or lemon brings it back into balance. It will also work in big-batch punches and slushy-style frozen mixes, where the sweetness holds up as the ice melts. A highball or Collins glass filled with ice is the right vessel for mixed drinks. For drinking it on its own, any tall glass or the bottle itself is fine. For food, expect it to go with salty, fried or spicy snacks, such as wings, chips, pretzels or grilled sandwiches, where a cold, sweet drink offsets the salt and heat.
