A Christmas Snowball is a very popular drink during the holiday season. You can make it with brandy or any other ingredient you like.
If you prefer a more complex version, you can also add other ingredients such as vanilla ice-cream or milk. Whatever you choose, this is an easy and fun drink to make with your friends!
Getting Started
You'll first need some snowballs. Use either frozen or freshly fallen snow. But the best kind of snow is not too powdery and icy. It's also important that the snow is clean, free from dirt or debris that could make it difficult to pack into a snowball. Sprinkle a little water over the snow before packing it in a snowball.
After you have your snowballs it is time to mix up the cocktail. You'll need a bar mixing spoon with a long handle and a rounded bowl at the end so you can reach all the way down to the bottom of the glass. This will help you get the drink mixed properly and evenly.
If you are using a cocktail jigger, it is best to place it at the side of the shaker and not inside the glass. This will stop the jigger splashing or spilling your cocktail while you are mixing it!
Advocaat Liqueur, Ice and Advocaat will be needed to create this snowball drink.
Advocaat Dutch egg liqueur is used to make many alcoholic snowball drinks. Its rich flavor is reminiscent to vanilla custard but it also contains zesty flavors of lemon and lime.
You can also try replacing the advocaat with gin, vodka or rum to create your own unique recipe. Dirty Snowball is a good choice for a festive take on this classic. It pairs lemonade along with the classic vodka and advocaat.
This cocktail contains a low alcohol content of 5%. However, it is still able to satisfy thirst. After a big meal, it's likely you'll have to drink more of the cocktail than suggested to satisfy your thirst.
Snowballs can be made with a wide range of ingredients, from fruit to chocolate. Some people add a few cinnamon sticks for a spicy, sweet treat. You can also add in a handful of candy canes for a festive garnish!

How To
How to make a good martini?
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. Mix all ingredients together before serving. The chilled glass is preferred. A good martini should always be served straight up. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. If you wish to add more flavor to your drink, you can put olive brine around the rim.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. Although there are many vermouths on the market, we recommend one that does not contain any added sugar. Too much sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Make a martini by adding 2 ounces of dry Vermouth to a shaker. 1 ounce vodka is added. Shake vigorously until well combined. Put the mixture in a chilled martini cup and garnish it with an olive.
The same steps are required to make a martini in a shaker. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
