Christmas morning always starts with everyone squeezing into my bed, yes all six of us, so that’s four adults now, and they open the goodies that have been left for them by Father Christmas. This is my favourite part of Christmas, I love it…all the hard work and stress melts at this point. A pale, custard colour in appearance, a snowball gets its name thanks to the dome of white foam at the top of the drink – which occurs when you mix the ingredients together.

The claim goes that it was created in South America or the Caribbean and that it was made with avocados, giving it its name.

As we said, you need Advocaat or it’s not a Snowball. Then it’s super important that you use a good quality lemonade or lemon-lime soda. It’s a pretty rich drink, so you will also need fresh lime juice to cut the intense sweetness. Preparing this snowball recipe for a crowd?

Without Warninks, it wouldn’t be Christmas!” Snowball recipes for Christmas: The Dutch discovered a beverage called abacate, which was said to have come from places like Java or Brazil and comprised of rum and avocado, according to the tale.
