Instructions

Preparation

The Snowball Cocktail is incredibly simple to make and requires minimal equipment, making it perfect for easy holiday entertaining.

Step 1: Fill a highball or Collins glass with ice. Large cubes work best to keep the drink cold without excessive dilution.

Step 2: Pour the Advocaat over the ice, allowing it to settle at the bottom of the glass.

Step 3: Add the freshly squeezed lime juice to the glass, which will brighten the flavors and cut through the creaminess.

Step 4: Top off the drink with sparkling lemonade, pouring it slowly to avoid excessive foaming. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.

Step 5: Garnish with a slice of lemon or lime on the rim and a maraschino cherry for a classic look. Optionally, sprinkle a bit of grated nutmeg on top for a festive touch.

Serve immediately and enjoy the smooth, creamy, and refreshing taste of this holiday classic!
