Christmas Snowballs, also known as Christmas Snowballs, are very popular drinks during the holidays. You can make it with brandy or any other ingredient you like.
You can either make it simple with lemonade & ice, or if want to take it up a notch you can add liqueur & other ingredients. Vanilla ice cream / milk are great options. It's a great drink to enjoy with friends, no matter what you decide!
Getting Started
Snowballs are the first ingredient you will need. Use a mix of frozen and fresh snow. The best snow will be icy cold, not powdery. It's also important that the snow is clean, free from dirt or debris that could make it difficult to pack into a snowball. You can sprinkle some water on the snow in order to moisten it before starting to pack it into a ball.
Once you've got your snowballs, it's time to mix the cocktail! A bar mixing spoon will be needed with a long handle, rounded bowl on the end to reach the bottom of the drink. You can mix the drink properly and evenly with this.
If you are using a cocktail jigger, it is best to place it at the side of the shaker and not inside the glass. This will prevent the jigger from splashing or spilling the cocktail as you mix it up!
Advocaat, liqueur and ice will be required to make advocaat Snowball Drink.
Advocaat is a Dutch egg liqueur that is the base of many traditional alcoholic snowball drinks. The flavour is rich and reminiscent of vanilla, but also has a zesty lime and lemon flavor.
You can also try replacing the advocaat with gin, vodka or rum to create your own unique recipe. Dirty Snowball is a good choice for a festive take on this classic. It pairs lemonade along with the classic vodka and advocaat.
This cocktail's abv is low, at around 5%. But it has enough alcohol to satisfy you. This cocktail is a good choice to have after a meal. However, you may need to drink fewer than the recommended serving sizes.
Snowballs are made from a variety of ingredients, ranging from chocolate to fruit. Some people even add in a few slices of cinnamon stick for a sweet, spiced treat. For a festive addition, you can add candy canes.
