How did I get this recipe?

I can still recall the sense of amazement I felt when I first saw this recipe for the UNICEF Snowflake Cocktail. It was a chilly winter evening, and I was attending a fundraiser event for UNICEF. The room was filled with people, all gathered together to support a great cause. As I made my way through the crowd, I came across a table where a bartender was serving up a special cocktail called the Snowflake.

I watched as he mixed together vodka, coconut cream, and a splash of blue curaçao, creating a beautiful icy blue drink. He then topped it off with a sprinkle of edible glitter, giving it a sparkling snowflake-like appearance. I was mesmerized by the sight of it and knew I had to learn how to make it myself.

I struck up a conversation with the bartender, who was more than happy to share the recipe with me. He explained that the Snowflake Cocktail was created specifically for UNICEF events, with a portion of the proceeds going towards supporting children in need around the world. I was touched by the thoughtfulness behind the drink and knew I had to do my part to help spread the word.

I took note of the ingredients and measurements, making sure to write everything down in my trusty recipe book. Over the years, I have collected recipes from various places and people, each one holding a special memory or story behind it. The UNICEF Snowflake Cocktail was no exception.

I couldn't wait to try making it for myself, so I gathered the ingredients and got to work in my kitchen. As I mixed together the vodka, coconut cream, and blue curaçao, I couldn't help but think about the children who would benefit from the funds raised by this drink. It added an extra layer of meaning to the cocktail, making it taste even sweeter.

Once the cocktail was mixed and poured into a glass, I sprinkled on the edible glitter, watching as it shimmered and sparkled like a snowflake in the winter sun. I took a sip and was immediately transported back to that fundraiser event, surrounded by people who shared my passion for helping others.

I made a mental note to share this recipe with my friends and family, encouraging them to make the UNICEF Snowflake Cocktail at their own gatherings. Not only is it a delicious drink, but it also serves as a reminder of the importance of giving back to those in need.

As I continued to serve up the Snowflake Cocktail at various events and gatherings, I found that it became a symbol of hope and generosity. People were touched by the story behind the drink and were eager to support the cause it represented.

I may have learned the recipe for the UNICEF Snowflake Cocktail from a bartender at a fundraiser event, but it has since become a cherished part of my own collection of recipes. Each time I make it, I am reminded of the power of coming together to make a difference in the world.

And so, as I raise my glass and toast to the children who benefit from the funds raised by this drink, I am filled with a sense of gratitude and pride. The UNICEF Snowflake Cocktail may be just a recipe, but to me, it represents so much more – a symbol of love, compassion, and the belief that we can all make a difference, one cocktail at a time. Cheers!
