This cocktail is certainly a showstopper…
Whether you are hosting a festive party or want to wow your family on Christmas day, the viral snow globe cocktail is a drink you need to recreate. The Snow Globe Cocktail has taken social media by storm, thanks to its stunning aesthetic and festive charm.
With the drink already amassing millions of views on TikTok and Google searches up 800% in the past week, this cocktail is certainly a showstopper you’ll be eager to recreate this Christmas. Nick Drewe, Trend Expert at the coupon discount site Wethrift, has provided insight into how to recreate the viral drink at home, and it’s easier than you think.
1. Firstly, add a handful of frozen cranberries to each freezer-safe glass.
2 .Then, you need to trim the base of a rosemary sprig and place it upright in the centre of the glass.
3. Pour water into the glass, or add the water first and then position the rosemary to keep it upright.
4 .Place the glasses on a small baking tray and freeze for approximately 45 minutes, or until the water has completely frozen.
5. Once frozen, remove the glasses from the freezer and serve immediately with your choice of beverage.
We recommend cranberries to keep to the festive theme, although you can experiment with a variety of frozen fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries to add vibrant colours and flavours to your drink if you want to switch it up.
For alcoholic options, consider clear spirits like vodka soda, gin and tonic, white rum, sambuca, prosecco, champagne or ouzo. For a non-alcoholic alternative, use sparkling water or clear juice instead. You incorporate simple syrup, honey, or agave syrup into the mix for a sweeter drink.
What is great about the snow globe cocktail is that you can mix any drink into it as long as it is clear and does not interfere with the visual clarity.

- Gin and Tonic
- Vodka Martini
- Paloma
- Mojito
- French 75
- Classic Martini
