Warninks Snowball (12 x 250ml)

Product Information

Rich & creamy Warninks Advocate is full bodied with a sweet and creamy texture with aromas of vanilla. Bombardino is a drink popular in Italy during the Winter, especially in the ski resorts. Its translations is “the bomb”! I’ve often mentioned that I grew up living in a pub, and I worked behind the bar when I was old enough.

Advocaat is not to be confused with Eggnog, another popular Christmas drink which has milk, cream and rum in it (as well as the eggs and sugar). Try serving them with a festive tipple such as a Snowball or a glass of Bombardino– a warm advocaat drink. Either drink complements this treat exceedingly well. What is Advocaat butter?

Advocaat is a traditional Dutch beverage, andis the Dutch word for “lawyer”. It is short for advocatenborrel, or “lawyer’s drink”, where borrel is Dutch for a small alcoholic beverage consumed slowly during a social gathering.According to the 1882 edition of the Dictionary of the Dutch Language, advocatenborrel was “so named as a good lubricant for the throat, and thus considered especially useful for a lawyer, who must speak in public. Wikipedia Plain white flour has been used for the pastry. Although we want the pastry to lift, this is caused by the butter trapped in the dough. It is not the result of a raising agent, so self-raising flour should not be used in this recipe.Up next is the Garland made using Warninks, amontillado sherry, spiced rum, topped with ginger ale, and garnished with candied ginger. Advocaat, along with notes of raisin and nut from the rum and the sherry, creates a Christmas pudding flavour with added ginger ale for that underlying spice – it’s Christmas cake in a glass. What’s your favourite Christmas tradition? This would be perfect for warming up after a hard night of Christmas shopping or tree buying (just save the Advocaat for the grown up only). 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. Run a fresh lemon wedge around the side of a large cut coupe and dip the glass in a plate of icing sugar to create a dusted, snowy effect. Pour Warninks into the glass and top with vanilla syrup and prosecco. Slice a piece of lemon rind, trim with scissors, twist and garnish.
