How To Make A Sparkling Snowball Cocktail

As it’s the Christmas season you might feel like creating a unique Christmas Cocktail, why not try a Sparkling Snowball?

To create this Cocktail, all you’ll need is a Sparkling Wine, Warninks Advocaat, Icing Sugar and Lemon or Lime and of course, a glass.

I’ve decided to go for another of our award winning Sparkling Wines, a Vin.CO Spumante.
