A snowball is a great drink for celebrating the holidays. The cocktail is delicious, warm, and will help you to stay cozy at your holiday party. This is a delicious alternative to hot wine or chocolate. Here's everything you need to know about making this classic winter drink!
The Christmas Snowball has become a popular drink for the holidays. It's often made with brandy, but you can easily substitute a variety of other ingredients to create your own custom snowball recipe!
If you prefer a more complex version, you can also add other ingredients such as vanilla ice-cream or milk. Whatever you choose, it's an easy and fun beverage to make with your buddies!
Getting Started
You'll first need some snowballs. You can use a mixture of frozen or fresh snow, but the best snow is icy cold and not too 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 have made your snowballs and a cocktail, it is time for mixing! To reach the bottom, you'll need to use a bar spoon that has a long handle with a bowl at the end. It will make it easier to get the drink blended evenly.
If you're using a jigger, be sure to place it on the side of the shaker rather than in the glass. The jigger will not spill or splash the cocktail when you mix it.
Advocaat liqueur, ice and Advocaat are all you need to make this 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.
Try substituting advocaat or vodka with gin to create your 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 contains a low alcohol content of 5%. However, it is still able to satisfy thirst. If you're drinking this cocktail after a heavy meal, you'll probably need to drink more than the suggested serving size to get your fill.
Snowballs can be made with a wide range of ingredients, from fruit to chocolate. Some people will even add a few pieces of cinnamon stick to make a sweet, spicy treat. For a festive addition, you can add candy canes.

What are the best mixed drinks to order at bars?
An Old Fashioned is a drink I recommend. This classic cocktail consists of bourbon whiskey mixed with sugar syrup, bitters, water, and other ingredients.
This drink is named after the fact that it was originally made without any ice. The original recipe contained only whiskey, sugar and bitters.
When people began adding ice to the mix they added "Old-Fashioned," to the title as they believed the old-fashioned version tasted best.
A Manhattan is also an option. Another great option. This is essentially a variant on the Old Fashioned. You use rye whiskey instead of bourbon. And instead of using sugar, you use sweet vermouth.
Bartenders love this recipe because it is simple to make and tastes great.
