Double Dutch Snowball

Double Dutch Snowball: A Retro Classic with a Festive Twist

The beloved snowball is back — and it’s fizzier, fresher, and more fabulous than ever. The Double Dutch Snowball takes the nostalgic charm of the original and gives it a vibrant update with a splash of citrus, an elegant garnish, and the sparkling lift of Double Dutch Double Lemon. Creamy, zesty, and brimming with holiday cheer, this cocktail is a must for any festive occasion.

At the heart of the Double Dutch Snowball is Advocaat — a smooth, velvety liqueur made with egg yolk, brandy and sugar. It’s rich and luxurious, making the perfect base for a winter cocktail. Lime juice cuts through the sweetness with a burst of citrus, while Double Dutch Double Lemon adds bright, zippy fizz and a refreshing finish. The result is a drink that’s creamy, crisp and completely crave-worthy.

Why We Love It

The Double Dutch Snowball brings the best of both worlds — comfort and refreshment, nostalgia and novelty. It’s a drink that looks and tastes like the holidays, but with a modern edge that keeps it feeling current. The addition of Double Dutch Double Lemon not only brightens the flavour, but adds that perfect effervescent lift that turns a simple serve into something truly special.

Perfect For…

This is a Christmas classic reimagined, ideal for cosy evenings, family gatherings or festive aperitifs. It’s low in alcohol, beautifully balanced, and easy to batch for larger groups. Serve it in a tall glass with a snowy garnish and it instantly becomes a showstopper — creamy, citrusy, and completely irresistible.

Double Dutch Mixer Match

Double Dutch Double Lemon is the star that transforms this cocktail. Packed with bright lemon and a hint of lime, it sharpens the sweetness of the Advocaat and enhances the citrus profile of the lime juice. The fizz adds a playful texture that lightens the richness of the drink and brings everything into balance.

Top Tips for Serving

• Layer with care: Add the Double Lemon slowly to avoid overflow — the mix will foam as the citrus hits the creamy base.
• Garnish with style: Maraschino cherries skewered on rosemary give this drink a classy, festive finish with a pop of colour and a hint of pine.
• Optional snowy rim: For an extra wintery look, rim your glass with lemon rind and sugar for a frosted effect that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Whether you’re reviving a vintage favourite or discovering it for the first time, the Double Dutch Snowball is guaranteed to bring joy to your glass. Creamy, citrusy and topped with a sparkle, it’s a cocktail that truly captures the magic of the season.
