When I think of the word “snowball” I immediately think of a snowball fight! Or of those Hostess cakes Sno Balls.
When I came across this Snowball cocktail like drinks I was intrigued.

If you like me have never heard of a Snowball, they are an egg-based cocktail with lemon and lime flavoring. If you are making them from scratch they are usually made with an egg based alcohol called Advocaat, which is similar to egg nog and topped up with lemonade.
It’s popular here in the UK especially during the winter months, it’s commonly thought of as a winter warmer.
At first I wasn't sure what I thought of them, they have a very distinct flavor. After one I just had to have another.... and it's then I decided that when I think of snowballs I would not only think of snowball fights and Hostess cakes, but these cocktails!
There is the refreshing side of the lemony-lime flavor and the slight eggy flavor gives it a warm comfy feeling.

They definitely fit this time of year perfectly! I dressed mine with a couple of cocktail cherries and a slice of lime. A slice of lemon would work just as well.
These Sainsbury’s Smooth Snowballs are available in a package of four and would make a great addition to any winter party!
I had my first snowball when I was about 10....lol Many, many years ago....lol
