THE SNOWBALL IS BACK!
ICONIC COCKTAIL REVISED FOR CHRISTMAS 2019
The Snowball Fizz is pure Christmas in a glass. Featuring
another festive staple, Prosecco, plus a dash of vanilla syrup,
this delicious drink is finished off with a stylish garnish of
lemon rind and an icing powder rim, for a beautiful snowy
touch.
Coffee is the ingredient on everyone’s lips right now, and
a match made in heaven with the rich custardy flavour of
Warninks. Serve friends and family an affogato-inspired Italian
Snowball, using fizzy cream soda and freshly brewed coffee.
Half cocktail-with-a-kick, half boozy-pudding, this indulgent
treat is ideal for festive parties and cosy winter nights.
Warninks the UK’s number one Advocaat renowned for its
custard-yellow hue and velvety texture – is bringing back a
taste of nostalgia this Christmas with innovative new serving
suggestions for its iconic Snowball cocktail.
For Brits across the country, Warninks is as integral to
Christmas as roast turkey and Brussels sprouts. The legendary
Snowball cocktail has remained a firm favourite, prompting
fond memories of festive family rituals. Traditionally made
with Warninks, fizzy lemonade and a squeeze of fresh lime,
the iconic cocktail has recently enjoyed a well-deserved
renaissance, with everyone from celebrity chefs to influential
bartenders singing its praises.
As a result, this winter the Snowball is set for even more of a
comeback, with a selection of exciting new makeovers. Taking
the cocktail’s core elements: Warninks Advocaat, a fizzy mixer
and a flavour enhancer; the brand-new Snowball recipes all use
this winning formula…
Elevate a Snowball to a Posh Snowball by adding cloudy
lemonade, then up the wow-factor by topping with a rolled
scoop of vanilla ice cream to create a real ‘snowball’ effect.
Finish with a simple sprig of Holly for a new Christmas-time
classic.
On-trend finishing touches will take the classic Snowball
cocktail recipe to new levels. For a playful twist, raid the
cupboards and create a Custard Dream Snowball by adding
cream sherry and garnishing with a custard cream biscuit for a
delightful touch of whimsy. Other show-stopping serves can be
easily created at home using garnishes such as mini meringues,
or Christmas foliage including pine branches, holly and
redcurrants dusted with icing sugar. Full recipes and serving
suggestions below.
This Christmas, Warninks are also launching the Snowball
cocktail in a convenient, ready-to-drink can. Combining the
perfect balance of ingredients, the new format makes it even
easier to serve the ultimate Snowball every time. Great for
adult stocking fillers, or to take to festive parties and events.
Warninks Global Ambassador says: “Warninks and Snowballs
have been an essential part of the festive season for years, and
we think our pimped-up serving suggestions will create new
Christmas traditions across the UK. Without Warninks, it
wouldn’t be Christmas!”
