Another option to pair with advocaat is a creamy chocolate pie topped with whipped cream. Apple, cherry, or raisin pie with sour cream are excellent choices for the winter.

Run a fresh lemon wedge around the side of a large cut coupe and dip the glass in a plate of icing sugar to create a dusted, snowy effect. Pour Warninks into the glass and top with vanilla syrup and prosecco. Slice a piece of lemon rind, trim with scissors, twist and garnish. Amaretto is an almond flavored Italian liqueur thought to have originated in Saronno, Italy. One of the best selling amaretto brands is Disaronno Originale Amaretto, available at many grocery and liquor stores. The classic snowball recipe has three basic ingredients, according to BBC Good Food’s recipe: sparkling lemonade, advocaat and lime juice. It takes less than five minutes to whip up and serve topped with a cherry for some colorful flair. Advocaat is not to be confused with Eggnog, another popular Christmas drink which has milk, cream and rum in it (as well as the eggs and sugar).Pour the Luxardo liqueur over the cherries to cover; seal; and place in the fridge for at least a week before using. This will yield ½ cup of cherries. Or, you can just buy it in a bottle - Warninks is the most common brand in the UK ( get it online* if you can't find it in the shops!). Obviously this is the option I chose (do you know me at all?).

Why is this drink called a snowball? When you mix all the ingredients together, they create a puff of white foam that floats on the top of the drink, according to Good Housekeeping. But I won’t lie, I know a few other fun and creative boozy drink ideas that you can serve along side the Snowball, to spice up your holiday get-togethers. Though avocaat gets its creaminess from egg yolks, the Dutch may have created it to mimic a drink the early explorers discovered while traveling in the Caribbean that used avocados, according to Culinary Lore.

Up next is the Garland made using Warninks, amontillado sherry, spiced rum, topped with ginger ale, and garnished with candied ginger. Advocaat, along with notes of raisin and nut from the rum and the sherry, creates a Christmas pudding flavour with added ginger ale for that underlying spice – it’s Christmas cake in a glass. One thing that’s guaranteed to ruin a Snowball, according to Charles, is not using good quality lemonade. ‘Use one such as R Whites,’ he says ‘which has good carbonation and intense sweetness.’ How to make a Snowball drink Snowball Ingredients
