Oh my gosh, guys – I’m not an enormous drinker, however The Soiled Snowman Cocktail would possibly simply treatment that! You may see simply by the pics it’s wonderful!

And whereas I attempted and sampled my Soiled Snowman Cocktails a number of instances this winter (See, I’m simply taking successful for the workforce and oh what I received’t do for you guys!) I’ve determined that that is gonna be an exquisite Christmas, New 12 months, and Valentine’s Day cocktail. Or perhaps only a fab anytime you’re sitting across the fire cocktail!

About The Soiled Snowman:

The very first thing to know in regards to the Soiled Snowman – it’s def a dessert within the guise of a cocktail. And it’s def a girly cocktail.

It’s filled with all issues candy and is admittedly an alcoholic scorching chocolate. There’s scorching chocolate, there’s ice cream, whipped cream, and three (yeah rely ’em) three totally different liqueurs.) That might be Baileys, Kahlua & Creme de Cacao. Oh, and don’t overlook the garnish of chocolate syrup and chocolate shavings or chocolate sprinkles.

This cocktail is excessive in each manner doable! Fortunately the mix of liqueurs isn’t tremendous excessive in alcohol content material and truthfully, I don’t suppose anybody might toss again a couple of or two of those! They might very nicely be “self-limiting.”

In case you have kiddos, take into account making them a mocktail model. Simply know that these do tend to get slightly messy!

Making The Soiled Snowman:

I all the time have a number of lids from cottage cheese, yogurt, and so forth in my silverware drawer. I take advantage of them for slicing objects like cherry tomatoes. Layer the tomatoes on an upside-down lid, and place one other lid excessive, proper facet up. Place your hand excessive lid and run a knife via the middle and straightforward peasy – tomatoes sliced.

However I digress – a few lids like this make the proper place to drizzle the chocolate syrup so the rim of the glass might be coated and a base to put chocolate sprinkles or shavings.

This brings me to the beginning of the cocktail. It’s greatest to make these cocktails one after the other and devour them shortly. Garnish your glass with chocolate sauce and sprinkles first. Then add in ice cream, pour on the liqueurs, and high with scorching chocolate. You can also make your personal scorching chocolate or simply use a mixture. With a lot happening, I don’t suppose it actually matter so far as style goes which you do.

Subsequent, add the whipping cream and shaved chocolate or any chocolate sprinkles – these are all the time my picks. Excellent, I believe, with a colourful paper straw (you might need to trim these).

If you wish to get inventive, although, you’ll be able to “theme” your Soiled Snowman. Perhaps silver and blue sprinkles with a blue striped straw for New 12 months’s. For Valentine’s, perhaps little mini hearts and both a pink and white or pink and white theme. You do you!!

Making The Soiled Snowman For a Crowd:

If planning on making these for a number of individuals, do a few issues to assist velocity the whole lot alongside.

Scoop ice cream and place the balls on a parchment-lined sheet pan within the freezer. Make as many balls as you suppose you’ll want utilizing a ball for every cocktail. Freeze them forward in order that they freeze arduous.
Make a pot of scorching chocolate, both selfmade or from a mixture. and ensure the pot has a pouring spout. How a lot relies upon fully on the scale of your glasses. 1 packet of scorching chocolate will make round 2 or 3 cocktails.
Every cocktail will want about 4 1/2 ounces whole (a jigger every) liqueur. For ease of measurement, 1/4 cup is shut sufficient. You may combine up sufficient of the alcohol after which simply measure out the 1/4 cup for every glass.
On this case, to make forward as a lot as doable, and to make it straightforward, do use the whipping cream in a can; slightly pricier however way more doable than selfmade.

Saving Cash on Components:

It actually does pay to be on an electronic mail gross sales checklist at your fave liquor retailer. You’ll most likely discover one of the best gross sales on these fancy liqueurs round holidays and sometimes shops have an enormous blowout sale in late February to early March.
Sub in cheaper variations or knockoffs of any of the liqueurs on this recipe. I do know there are variations of the Baileys (Irish Cream), and Kahlua; (Espresso Liqueur) and extra cheap variations of Creme de Cacao (Chocolate Liqueur). I’ve two recipes for selfmade Baileys on my website. One easy Baileys and one that’s Baileys Reverse Engineered.
Ice cream is on sale steadily; typically evidently manufacturers are rotated and go on sale in succession. Be versatile and use no matter is on sale. There may be a lot happening in these cocktails that nobody will discover the distinction in high quality should you go cheaper.
It’s a lot cheaper to whip up your personal whipped cream; that is one case the place the fuss and hassle are virtually an excessive amount of! Do look ahead to the whipped cream within the can to be on sale round any vacation.
