This creation—my Vegan Snowflake Cocktail—is predicated on creamy non-dairy vanilla liqueur, coconut milk beverage, vodka, and peppermint schnapps. I attempted this recipe out on my family and friends over the vacations and it acquired the thumbs up. The coconut milk beverage cuts the alcohol, and the cool mint taste of the schnapps makes it so refreshing. I requested myself, what ought to I name this drink? And the reply was, a Snowflake! As a result of it’s cool and contemporary, and simply melts in your tongue like a contemporary snowflake falling from the sky. Plus, this cocktail is the reply to a luscious, creamy drink sans the dairy. Yow will discover extra manufacturers of dairy-free cream liqueurs available on the market now, together with Baileys Almande, Almondaire, and Bom Bom. I used the latter on this recipe, and it was yummy certainly! This cocktail is a a lot lighter model than conventional heavy cream drinks, and everybody in your occasion checklist can partake—even when they don’t eat dairy.
This cocktail recipe makes one batch, however you’ll be able to simply make a pitcher of it for a celebration to save lots of time.

And it even provides you contemporary breath! All that from a enjoyable cocktail.
