Chocolate Snowman Winter Board
When I think of winter treats, I love to eat sweets like holiday cookies, luxurious candies, and chocolate or peppermint bark, so many goodies come to mind.
And when it comes to holiday drinks, anything with peppermint is an excellent choice for sure.
But how about your snowman cocktail and holiday cookie game?
We happen to think cocktails and cookies aren’t mutually exclusive.
The right cookie served with an equally good cookie can make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Who doesn’t want that?
On the contrary, delicious cookies pair surprisingly well with certain cocktails.
For instance, our Chocolate Snowmen Shots are filled with a delightful mix of bourbon cream liqueur, Godiva white chocolate liqueur, peppermint-flavored vodka or bourbon, praline liqueur, all of this goodness made even better with a healthy pour of eggnog.
With a cookie in hand and our Chocolate Snowman Shot in the other, how are you gonna be a Grinch this holiday season?
With our Chocolate Snowman Winter Board, being a Scrooge isn’t going to be an option either.
Of course, topping your Chocolate Snowman with a little more peppermint vodka is never a bad thing, right?
A finishing touch of whipped cream and holiday-colored sprinkles makes this festive cocktail perfect for spreading holiday cheer!
What You Will Need To Make Our Chocolate Snowman Shots
Chocolate Snowmen. The Mrs. found chocolate snowmen at a local store; unwrapped them, then cut off their heads with a heated knife blade.
Bourbon Cream Liqueur. Since discovering bourbon cream liqueur several years ago, it’s been one of my favorite ways to drink bourbon. Grab some, you won’t be disappointed.
Praline Liqueur. If you have never had praline liqueur, you are definitely in for a treat. It has a sweet, nutty taste profile that adds another layer of yummy flavor you will love.
Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur. The name Godiva is synonymous with rich chocolate flavor, and you won’t be disappointed with this little white chocolate number.
Peppermint Vodka. If you’re going to enjoy a spot of peppermint vodka, it’s going to be during the holidays. And adding Smirnoff peppermint vodka, plus it has a cool scratch-and-sniff bottle.
Bourbon Whiskey. Okay. You guys know about my love for just about anything bourbon-related, and even though there are two ways (peppermint or bourbon) to make this holiday cocktail, you already know my preference.

Can I Make This Ahead of Time?
Yes. This cocktail actually gets better after a few hours in the fridge.
Mix everything thoroughly, store it in an airtight pitcher, and chill for up to 24 hours.
Give it a good stir before serving to ensure all flavors are well combined.
What If I Don’t Like Eggnog?
No. If eggnog isn’t your thing, you can swap in half-and-half or heavy cream.
This substitution allows you to customize the richness, and while it won’t taste like classic holiday nog, the cocktail will still be cold, creamy, and dessert-level rich.
What Can I Use Instead Of Praline Liqueur?
If you can’t find praline liqueur, go with amaretto, Frangelico, or Irish cream.
They keep the flavor warm and nutty without changing the texture.
Is There A Non-Alcoholic Version?
You can make a mocktail version by using non-alcoholic white chocolate liqueur, NA bourbon alternatives, and peppermint syrup instead of vodka.
This way, everyone can enjoy a festive drink, even without alcohol, making it inclusive and fun.
How Strong Is This Cocktail?
It’s on the sweeter side, but don’t let that fool you; this one sneaks up on you.
You’re combining multiple liqueurs, so it’s definitely a holiday sipper.
Can I Serve This As A Full Cocktail Instead Of Shots?
Absolutely. Pour it over ice in small rocks glasses or serve it chilled in coupe glasses: same flavors, just a bigger pour.
How Do I Cut The Chocolate Snowmen Without Cracking Them?
Heat a sharp knife under hot water, wipe it dry, and slice the top off in one clean motion.
The warmth helps the chocolate glide rather than shatter.
Will The Chocolate Snowmen Melt?
No, they hold up well.
The cocktail is chilled, and the warm knife never comes into contact with the inside. Just fill and serve.
How Long Will It Last In The Fridge?
Up to 48 hours, stored tightly covered. Give it a shake or stir before pouring.
Where Can I Get The Chocolate Snowman?
Any hollow chocolate snowmen work. Lindt, World Market, Kroger, and Target seasonal chocolates are reliable and easy to cut.
Christmas holiday boards are fun to make and easy to put together.
