Snow globes are a popular decorative item during the holiday season, and this winter drink by Paige Russel creatively embodies the ornament in an edible snow globe cocktail. The drink features stand up figurines of trees and snowmen to recreate a seasonal landscape directly inside the libation.
The cocktail is made using edible items to recreate popular elements from a snowy landscape using food. The drink features icing at the bottom of the glass to create a canopy of snow that springs of rosemary and yogurt raisin snowmen are adhered to. Then the drink is topped with a clear mixed beverage made from liquor such as vodka, gin or sake. The final element is adding white sugar to the drink just before serving to look like falling snow.
