If you're looking for a festive drink to help you celebrate the holiday season, then look no further than a snowball drink. A delicious and boozy cocktail, it will keep your party warm and cozy. This is also a wonderful alternative to mulled wine or hot chocolate. Here's all you need to know about how to make the classic winter drink.
Christmas Snowballs have become very popular during the holiday season. The drink is usually made with brandy but you can use a variety other ingredients to make your own recipe.
If you're looking for a little more, you could add some liqueur to the lemonade or even milk. Whatever you choose, this is an easy and fun drink to make with your friends!
Getting Started
First, you'll need to make some snowballs. Use either frozen or freshly fallen snow. But the best kind of snow is not too powdery and icy. Snow should be free of debris or dirt that can make it difficult for you to form a snowball. It's a good idea to sprinkle a few drops of water onto the snow, which will make it more moist.
It's time for the cocktail mix! 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.
When using a shaker with a jigger in it, make sure you place the jigger along the side rather than inside the glass. This will stop the jigger splashing or spilling your cocktail while you are mixing it!
Advocaat, liqueur and ice will be required to make advocaat Snowball Drink.
Advocaat (Dutch egg liqueur) is the base ingredient of many traditional alcoholic Snowball drinks. Its rich flavour is reminiscent of vanilla custard, but it's also packed with zesty lemon and lime flavors as well.
Try replacing the advocaat in this recipe with gin or vodka to make it your own. Dirty Snowballs are a fun twist on the classic advocaat cocktail. They combine lemonade, vodka and classic advocaat.
This cocktail has a relatively low abv measure of around 5%, but it still has plenty of alcohol to satisfy your thirst. This cocktail is a good choice to have after a meal. However, you may need to drink fewer than the recommended serving sizes.
The ingredients you can use to make snowballs range from chocolate or fruit. Some people add some cinnamon sticks as well for a sweet and spicy treat. For a festive addition, you can add candy canes.

How To
How to order drinks from the bar without embarrassing yourself
There are many ways you can order drinks at your local pub, but you must know what type of drink it is before you go up to the bar. If you don't know which drink you want, you can ask your server what order they would recommend. This will ensure that you don't feel embarrassed asking your server for suggestions.
This involves talking with your server to tell them what type you want. Perhaps you say "I'd prefer a glass," and then tell your server exactly which beer you desire. For example, you could say, "A Budweiser." Next, tell you server which size you desire (e.g., small medium large). After you're done, your server will give the correct price. You won't ever feel awkward!
