Alcoholic Cocktail Highball Glass 4 ingredients

Recipe

  • 2 oz advocaat Liqueur
  • 20 mlpremium Vodka
  • 1 squeezefresh Lime Juice
  • 8 ozpremium Lemonade

Instructions

Derived from years of experimenting - adored by all to whom it is served. The most merry of Yultides to one & all, courtesy Justin Heraty-Plant.All ingredients are to be ICE cold, if possible Vodka may be kept in the freezer, as NO ice cubes should be used in this recipe, to avoid loss of bubbles. NEVER use store brand Advocaat, it is very inferior, Bols or Warniks only. Use the largest 'elegant' glass possible for a good sized drink, pour the Vodka first, as you only need a little, and won't be able to tell if you add the Advocaat first; between 10-30 mls of Vodka only, too much will over bare on the delicate Advocaat flavours! Then add the Advocaat, around a fifth to a quarter of the whole glass, squeeze a very little Lime in for zing, and fill half way with ICE cold Lemonade (NEVER diet) Soda (Lemon Lime) or 7Up are good, as they have citrus hints (tip - use cans not bottles of Lemonade, this means you always get maximum fizz), stir gently, then top up all the way (don't fill all the way on the first pour of Lemonade as it will fly over the top). And for a sweetly Red & camp Christmas flourish, drop in 2 or 3 cocktail Cherries, the really bad bright sort - and Voila, Yule in a glass, Cheers!

About Superbly Snowy (Snowball)

The Superbly Snowy, commonly known as the Snowball, is a delightful cocktail that brings a festive touch to any occasion. This drink features a rich and creamy base of advocaat liqueur, a Dutch spirit made from eggs, sugar, and brandy, which gives the cocktail its signature velvety texture and warm, custard-like flavor. The addition of premium vodka enhances the drink's smoothness and adds a subtle kick, while a squeeze of fresh lime juice introduces a hint of zesty brightness that perfectly balances the sweetness of the advocaat. Topping it all off with premium lemonade provides a refreshing, effervescent finish that makes the Superbly Snowy a light and invigorating beverage, despite its rich ingredients.

The Snowball cocktail has a charming history, particularly popular in the UK during the 1970s, often enjoyed during the festive season or at family gatherings. Its origins date back to the mid-20th century, as a creative way to enjoy advocaat beyond its traditional, straight-up serving. Over the years, the Snowball has maintained its nostalgic appeal, often associated with holiday cheer and retro cocktail parties, making it a timeless choice for those who enjoy a touch of vintage elegance in their drinks.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Highball Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
