Christmas Snowball Fizz Cocktail
23rd December 2021
Will we experience Snow on Christmas this year? Building snowmen and throwing snowballs, if that doesn’t happen, then we can take solace in creating a Sparkling Snowball Cocktail.
An easy to create Cocktail that requires Sparkling Wine and a sweet almost eggnog-like spirit, Warninks Advocaat, so let’s build our snowball…
The Sparkling Wine
The vineyards of Casa Gheller are located in the Trevisan hills in the classic Valdobbiadene DOC area, which is well known for the production of Prosecco.
