Ingredients

Scale

Liquids

  • 4 oz vodka
  • 2 oz peppermint schnapps
  • 2 oz white chocolate liqueur

Garnish

  • Crushed candy canes for rim
  • Mini candy canes for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass Rim: Wet the rim of your martini glasses gently with water. Then, dip each glass rim into crushed candy canes to coat them evenly, creating a festive and flavorful edge.
  2. Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 4 oz vodka, 2 oz peppermint schnapps, and 2 oz white chocolate liqueur. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill and blend the flavors thoroughly.
  3. Strain and Serve: Strain the chilled mixture into the prepared martini glasses, being careful not to disturb the candy cane rim. Garnish each glass with a mini candy cane for a decorative and thematic touch.

Notes

  • Use quality vodka and white chocolate liqueur for the best flavor.
  • Adjust peppermint schnapps quantity to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder mint flavor.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute vodka and liqueurs with peppermint syrup and white chocolate syrup mixed with cream or milk.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp, cold taste and keep the candy cane rim intact.
