Ingredients

  • 50 ml Warninks Advocaat
  • 10 ml Fresh lime juice
  • 100 ml Ginger Beer

Instructions

  • Pour the Warninks advocaat and lime juice into a cocktail shaker with ice
  • Secure the lid and shake to chill and combine
  • Strain into a glass
  • Top up with ginger beer and stir to combine
  • Garnish as desired and serve immediately

Notes

  • Don't skip mixing the advocaat, lime and ice together first - it helps them blend well with the ginger beer and cool all ingredients down nicely
  • If you don't have a cocktail shaker try using a large glass jar with a screw top lid or at a push stir the advocaat, lime and ice together in a jug for 30 seconds
  • Ensure your ginger beer is well chilled too - a lukewarm Snowball is not ideal
  • Warninks advocaat comes in at 17.2% abv. When mixed in the quantities specified in this recipe the resulting advocaat Snowball cocktail has an abv measure of around 5%.
Serving Suggestions
For a fresh and modern sense of style serve this Warninks advocaat Snowball in elegant cocktail glasses instead of the usual high-ball. Garnishes are up to you:
  • Keep things classic with lime and a cocktail cherry or two
  • Opt for a creative garnish to match the season such as holly at Christmas
  • Or add a sense of cosy warmth with a cinnamon stick or some grated nutmeg
Then of course you can push the boat out and slip a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream into your Snowball. It's an unexpected and indulgent twist certain to put a smile on the face of the lucky recipient of this drink.
