When we were younger me and my sister were allowed a small glass of snowball to celebrate the new year. We loved it, I think it had more lemonade than advocat though!!! Every christmas now we say we should get some, maybe I'll remember this year. Jane x

Hayley, You just reminded me, Cherry B and cider. Loved it, couldn't drink too many though as I was soon flat on my back. I've still got some of the babysham and cherry B glasses from years ago, old land lady was selling up and she gave them to me. Fiona. x

Snowballs, Dad used to let me have a small one at christmas, Advoca, lemonade and a cherry to top it off. Haven't had one in years. Have tried egg nog too but not as keen on that. My aunt-in-law makes it fresh every christmas. Fiona. x Forgot to add that a Snowball should be made with Advoca and Babycham, dad would never let me have it that way though!! :((
