Product Information

If you are looking for a fun new drink for your holiday parties or new family traditions this is a great one to try. Preparing this snowball recipe for a crowd? Here’s a few tips that will make it so much easier to make these. Advocaat is a traditional Dutch liqueur made from a mixture of egg yolks, vanilla, sugar and alcohol, (the leading brand, Warninks, is part of the mighty De Kuyper group). It’s essentially boozy custard and who doesn’t like boozy custard? The combination of eggs and booze is an ancient one. There are many old English recipes for drinks like possets and flips involving alcohol, spices, milk or cream and eggs. Some of these would have been heated with a red hot poker. An ale treated as such was said to be ‘nogged’ which is one possible derivation of the word eggnog. Though it might have come from England, the Americans really took to nogging in a big way. David A. Embury in The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks has a whole subchapter on ‘nogs’; there are many different kinds but all contain eggs, alcohol or some sort, milk and/or cream and sugar, lots and lots of sugar. So not that different to advocaat. Incidentally, the word probably comes from the Dutch for lawyer.

These drinks are slightly sweet, creamy, with just a bit of bubble from the carbonation. Combined with the foam on top you are left with a perfectly divine treat! But I won’t lie, I know a few other fun and creative boozy drink ideas that you can serve along side the Snowball, to spice up your holiday get-togethers.A pale, custard colour in appearance, a snowball gets its name thanks to the dome of white foam at the top of the drink – which occurs when you mix the ingredients together. However, the liqueur is high in alcohol at around 40% ABV, which should prevent further bacterial growth and studies show that raw egg eggnogs are safe, especially if aged since all salmonella is destroyed after a while. Allow the advocaat to age before eating to eliminate any concerns about food poisoning caused by uncooked eggs. To get the most taste and benefit, use top-quality eggs. If you fancy tweaking a snowball, Charles suggests using cloudy lemonade and garnishing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to create a Posh Snowball drink or adding mini meringue or Custard Cream on the side. Run a fresh lemon wedge around the side of a large cut coupe and dip the glass in a plate of icing sugar to create a dusted, snowy effect. Pour Warninks into the glass and top with vanilla syrup and prosecco. Slice a piece of lemon rind, trim with scissors, twist and garnish.

Set up a double boiler: put a couple of inches of water in a saucepan, and nestle a glass or stainless steel bowl comfortably on top without the bottom touching the water. Anyway, here’s the classic recipe. Best served with Noddy Holder-esque shout of: “It’s CHRISTMAS!!!!”The base of the Snowball drink is made with Advocaat, which is like eggnog in a bottle. Advocaat is made with sugar and egg yolks, plus the all important brandy! While there are some similarities in ingredients like eggs, the flavors are not alike. Actually nor is the texture. They are both rich an decadent in flavor – which makes it fit right in with the holiday table. You can also make these in a highball glass or a tall glass with lots of ice cubes, but I prefer Martini glasses so that’s my choice! What ingredients go into a Snowball

It’s easy to whip up this holiday drink at holiday parties. The big thing that sets this Advocaat snowball apart (traditional vs Dad’s way) is the fact that my Dad uses a blender to blend them up with crushed ice. This collection of 20 Cozy Drink Recipes is sure to have one or two that will be a hit with some of your friends and family. Is Advocaat the same as Eggnog?

Another option to pair with advocaat is a creamy chocolate pie topped with whipped cream. Apple, cherry, or raisin pie with sour cream are excellent choices for the winter.

Ingredients and SubstitutionsOnce you’ve opened it, it’s important to finish the bottle within six months – but that shouldn’t be too difficult! What Foods Pair Well With Advocaat? Up next is the Garland made using Warninks, amontillado sherry, spiced rum, topped with ginger ale, and garnished with candied ginger. Advocaat, along with notes of raisin and nut from the rum and the sherry, creates a Christmas pudding flavour with added ginger ale for that underlying spice – it’s Christmas cake in a glass. I would pour 50 ml Advocaat into an ice-filled glass and stir with lime cordial and fizzy lemonade (which, behind the bar, came from a pump, creating a dome of white foam on top of the drink!). But for my first Snowball I thought I thought should keep it trad. Though to be properly 1970s, I should have used R White’s Lemonade and omitted the lime juice. I don’t think I saw a lime in Britain until about 1991. And the result? Well, it’s absolutely delicious. In fact, Warninks advocaat neat is pretty damn tasty. Make sure you keep it refrigerated as people in the office have shared lurid stories of what happens to an open bottle of advocaat left in a warm cupboard. Think of the eggs, people.
