This Snowball Martini is a Perfect Winter Cocktail

I’m always looking for a fun new cocktail. Either one to serve to my guests, or one to try when I’m out – or home alone.  I mean, you can’t serve your guests a new concoction that tastes horrible.  That’s just bad planning, unless you never want them to come back again.  This Snowball Martini is a total winner.

The Snowball Martini looks totally wintery, but isn’t necessarily winter flavored.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I love peppermint, mulled wine, and those types of goodies, but there’s just something about that sneaky Snowball Martini cocktail that looks wintry, but tastes like a tropical vacation. Just like a real snowball fight, you’ll never see it coming.

Can you really go wrong with a rum and coconut cocktail in the dead of winter?  Yeah, I didn’t think so either.

Snowball Martini Recipe

You will need a cocktail shaker for this recipe.  A good home bar should have one anyway, but a lot of people don’t.  I really like this cocktail set that has a shaker, a jigger (for measuring) and a strainer. You may also want a rimming sugar.  Of course, a cool martini glass is always fun, too. These z-stem martini glasses are so fun and unique!
