Snowball
Snowball is a British cocktail made with a combination of Advocaat egg liqueur, lemonade, and lime juice. In order to prepare it, lemonade and lime juice should be poured into a cocktail glass over ice, followed by Advocaat, which will typically sink to the bottom, so all it needs is a bit of stirring to become integrated with the other ingredients.
It is recommended to garnish the cocktail with a lime slice or a lime twist. Snowball is especially popular during the festive Christmas season, and it is believed that it originated in the late 1940s or early 1950s.
