📜 History

The Snowball became a British Christmas institution in the 1970s and 1980s. Made with Dutch advocaat (a creamy egg-based liqueur), lime cordial, and lemonade, it offers a lighter alternative to American eggnog. The name evokes winter imagery while the drink provides nostalgic holiday comfort.
