STORAGE & FREEZING: Dirty Snowman

The Dirty Snowman is best served right after it’s made. If you leave it for too long, the ice cream will melt, and the drink will lose its creamy texture.

VARIATIONS

There are many ways to customize your Dirty Snowman:

• Flavored Ice Cream: Use chocolate, mint, or coffee-flavored ice cream for a twist.
• Different Liqueurs: Try others like Kahlua or flavored vodkas instead of Baileys.
• Toppings: Switch out chocolate sprinkles for crushed candies, marshmallows, or nuts.
• Non-Alcoholic Version: Skip the Baileys and add a bit more chocolate syrup or flavored syrup.
