Blizzard in a Bottle


  • Author: Jessica
  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

  • 🍸 2 oz vanilla vodka – base spirit with smooth sweetness

  • πŸ₯₯ 1 oz coconut cream (or cream of coconut) – rich and tropical

  • πŸ₯› 1 oz white chocolate liqueur – velvety and decadent

  • πŸƒ Β½ oz peppermint schnapps – adds a brisk, minty chill

  • 🧊 Ice cubes – for shaking

  • 🍬 Crushed candy canes or shredded coconut – for glass rim

  • ✨ Optional: edible glitter or shimmer dust – for sparkle

  • πŸ₯₯ Optional: coconut milk or half & half (splash) – for creamier finish

  • 🌿 Optional: mint leaves – garnish


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the glass
Run a lemon wedge or honey along the rim of a chilled martini or coupe glass. Dip the edge into crushed candy cane, shredded coconut, or white sanding sugar for a frosted look. Set aside.

Step 2: Fill the shaker
In a cocktail shaker, combine:

  • 2 oz vanilla vodka

  • 1 oz coconut cream

  • 1 oz white chocolate liqueur

  • Β½ oz peppermint schnapps

  • Optional splash of coconut milk for extra creaminess
    Add a generous handful of ice.

Step 3: Shake it like a snow globe
Shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled and frothy.

Step 4: Strain and pour
Strain the cocktail into your prepared glass. Watch as the creamy snowstorm swirls into place.

Step 5: Garnish and serve
Top with a sprinkle of edible glitter, coconut flakes, or a fresh mint leaf. You can even float a mini marshmallow snowman on top!

Notes

These bombs are very forgiving, but a few key tips ensure success:

  • Use chilled glasses for longer-lasting frostiness

  • Shake vigorously to create that creamy froth on top

  • Don’t overdo the peppermint schnappsβ€”too much and it overwhelms the delicate coconut-vanilla flavor
