How To Of The Day: Make A Cocktail With Snow
How to make a cocktail with snow for your Christmas party this winter.
Enjoy!
In the colder months, it’s often warm cocktails that come to mind for an evening drink. But there’s another way to jazz up those winter refreshments: snow. That’s right, you use the fluffy white stuff itself in place of ice, and get a unique, slushy cocktail.
This ingredient is not just a fanciful gimmick either; bartenders in urban centers around the country have started to take advantage of the unique properties of snow to create memorable delicious drinks for their patrons.
Just mix up your favorite cocktail — be it a Manhattan or a martini — and pour it over a glass full of snow. You’ll impress your guests, and enjoy a tasty twist on your favorite drinks.
To make your cocktail extra wintery, try the following recipe:
- 1oz Winter Jack
- 1oz Gentleman Jack whiskey
- 2oz ginger beer
- Apple slices to garnish
Combine the Winter Jack and whiskey in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake it up, and pour into your glass over the snow. Top with ginger beer and apple slice, and enjoy!
Ohio Man Honors Fallen Soldiers With Snow Sculpture
Awesome!
An Ohio man honored our fallen soldiers with his annual snow sculpture: a 14 foot bald eagle, with an American flag hung on its back. Here’s the story:
Roger L. Pugh says every year he makes some sort of snow sculpture, but this year he decided to take it to the next level and turn it into a tribute to fallen soldiers. He says he worked on it a little each night after work, and he’s happy with how it turned out: a bald eagle wrapped in the American flag, with a grave with boots and a wooden gun and helmet in front.
“It’s a tribute to our fallen soldiers, the ones that covered my back and taking care of my butt for a lot of years,” Pugh said. “If it can put a smile on somebody’s face, or make them think about our soldiers, hey, mission accomplished.”
Kinda puts your measly 5 foot snowman to shame, huh?
