How to make a snowball cocktail: Step-By-Step Tutorial
Our Snowball cocktail is known for its light and creamy taste, with a subtle sweetness from the Advocaat and a tangy kick from the carbonated lemonade. It's often garnished with a slice of lemon or a maraschino cherry to enhance its presentation and add a touch of colour. To craft the Snowball cocktail, the bartender combines the following ingredients:
Advocaat liqueur: Advocaat is a traditional Dutch liqueur made from egg yolks, sugar, and brandy. It has a creamy and velvety texture with flavors reminiscent of custard or eggnog. The Advocaat liqueur serves as the base ingredient, providing richness and a distinct flavor profile to the cocktail.
Carbonated lemonade: Carbonated lemonade, also known as sparkling lemonade or lemon soda, adds effervescence and a zesty lemon flavor to the cocktail. It balances the creaminess of the Advocaat, creating a refreshing and fizzy combination.
The Snowball cocktail is a popular choice for holiday gatherings, as it embodies a festive spirit and offers a pleasant contrast to heavier and warmer winter drinks. It's a refreshing option for those who enjoy creamy and sparkling beverages with a hint of citrus. Cheers to a delightful Snowball cocktail!

Snowball Recipe (NO BAKE!)
Full recipe for No Bake Christmas Snowballs at The Cake Mistress website here:
Back in the kitchen for more Christmas Baking, this time it’s these no-bake Christmas Snowballs. I love them because they are ridiculously easy and fast to make. If you were looking for a Christmas baking recipe for kids, I would try these Christmas Snowballs. They’ll love getting their hands dirty rolling balls of dough, and then coating them with coconut and chocolate.
This Christmas Snowball recipe is not to be confused with Snowball cookies, or Russian Tea Cakes. Those typically have pecan nuts in them, they are coated in icing sugar and then baked. This snowball recipe needs no oven. In fact, you could whip these together in about 15 minutes.
You could serve these Christmas Snowballs as snacks on the Christmas table, or bundle them up with other Christmas goodies and give them to friends and family as edible Christmas gifts.

PRINTABLE RECIPE:
RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS
1 cup unsalted butter softened
½ cup powdered sugar
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder I used Special Dark, use your favorite
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour measured correctly (spoon and level, do not pack)
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Additional powdered sugar for rolling (about 1 – 1 ½ cups)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preaheat oven to 350°. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Mix butter, ½ cup powdered sugar, cocoa, and vanilla with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add flour and salt and mix until the dough comes together. Stir in the chocolate chips. If dough is too soft, chill it until you can work it easily with your hands.
Scoop 1 tablespoon balls of dough and place on prepared cookie sheet.
Bake cookies for 7-10 minutes until bottoms are just slightly brown and the tops are no longer glossy. Remove from oven and cool for 5-10 minutes, until you can handle them. Fill a small bowl with 1 cup powdered sugar and roll each cookie in the sugar until coated. Place on a rack to cool. (Once cookies are cooled, you may want to re-roll them in more powdered sugar.)

Snowball cookies, are delicate, buttery, cookies similar to shortbread, but with nuts and dusted with powdered sugar. They are called snow ball cookies because they do, in fact, look like snowballs! They’re so cute, I love putting them out for friends simply because of how pretty they are. Not much extra work for presentation required. I am currently enjoying a bowl of cookies to myself with a glass of homemade vegan eggnog, topped with coconut whipped cream, just because it’s the Holidays and I can!
To create this recipe, I tried to stay as true to the traditional technique and ingredients as possible. In a stand mixer, (or medium bowl with a hand mixer) I creamed together vegan butter (I like Earth Balance or Melt), 1/4 cup powdered sugar, pure vanilla extract and pink salt. This butt-sugar mixture on it’s own is delicious, but quite ratchet to eat alone... not that I haven’t done so.
In a separate bowl, I combined unbleached all-purpose white flour and finely chopped nuts. You can use any nut you like, but my favorites for this recipe are walnuts or almonds. That’s what my Omi (grandmother) always used in her holiday baking and so, I’ve stuck to the same. Then,
I gradually added the flour mixture to butter mixture; beating after each addition. I mixed until it all came together like a dough.
This part is always my favorite! Using my (clean- duh) hand to shape the dough into balls, and then placing on a cookie sheet 1 inch apart. These cookies are best baked for 15 minutes until lightly browned. I highly recommend not overbaking them- so pay attention. In fact, I suggest under baking them slightly. You want them to melt in your mouth, not crumble- under baking ensure this happens.
When the cookies, are baked, I have found the best way to go about the next steps are as follows:
-Gently remove cookies from baking pan, and place on a wire rack to cool for 2-5 mins until you can handle them.
-Meanwhile prepare a shallow bowl with 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
-Gently roll warm cookies in powdered sugar and place back onto the wire rack to cool completely.
-Once cooled, roll cookies in powdered sugar a second time.
Voila! Cookies are ready to eat! I hope you love this stupid easy recipe as much as I do, and make it part of your holiday baking traditions. Oh and don’t forget-these snowballs are better for eating than for throwing at your friends faces.
