The Warninks advocaat snowball is a fun, citrusy and enchantingly colourful cocktail that has been popular for decades. Adding a little ginger beer to the mix injects a burst of modern flair into the classic Snowball cocktail.
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 SuggestionsFor 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.
