It's NYE 2025. As if we weren't feeling nostalgic enough, this cocktail reminded us of our first illicit alcoholic drink...sips of snowballs circa 1980.

I didn't have Lime Cordial or Cacao Powder, so used 60 ml fresh lime juice and 7 ml 1:1 Sugar Syrup (it was a double mix) and Choccocino to dust it off....looks like a keeper!!

First one of the season! Ran out of lime cordial so used lime juice - just as delicious (still sweet enough). Christmas not the same without a shedload of these

I might be a little bit addicted to these 🤣

I tried this with an Olorosso Sherry and really loved the result. Thanks for the inspiration

I've taken to mixing x8 the base in a litre bottle, topped with a touch of water, refrigerated and taking that with a chilled bottle of prosecco to events where I've not wanted to be chained to the cocktail shaker but want to share a treat with a few people

Many of these were made in our household over the festive season!
On one of these occasions there was a mixup between two bottles and we made this same recipe but with dry vermouth instead of fino. It was different - drier and herbaceous - but surprisingly good as an alternative.

Tried with port instead of sherry and Amarole instead of warninks advoqat - was okey but not great.

Remeber this drink as a teenager at family Christmas parties when advocaat was mixed with cream soda!! Now,it's time for more sophisctication; festivities crammed into a glass, but prefer fresh lime to the cordial.
