Holiday Happy Hour Alert! This drink is actually perfect for dessert as well. A little peppermint flavor always has me feeling ready for Christmas. Cheers & enjoy! xo RCN
By the glass:
1.25 oz Vanilla vodka
1.25 oz Creme de Cacao
.75 oz Peppermint schnapps
Crushed candy cane for rim of glass, one mini cane for garnish
To serve, begin by dipping the rim of the martini glass in water. Slowly motion the rim of the glass through crushed candy cane pieces on a flat surface. Hold glass horizontally, sometimes that works best! After the glass looks divine, mix all other ingredients in a martini shaker (with a 1/2 cup crushed ice, if you like your drinks really cold). Pour into glass and sprinkle a little crushed candy cane at center of drink. It will sink to bottom of glass and create a pretty red-clear gradation of color in your drink. Done, serve for the partay!
