Peppermint Chocolate Martinis

Every once in a while, there’s that one-holiday cocktail that you just must whip up when Christmas closes in.

In my home, toothsome and festive white chocolate peppermint martinis are THAT cocktail.

White Chocolate Peppermint Martinis

Are you naughty or nice?

Santa’s checking his list twice.

Before he gets to your house, I’d throw a few of these back and maybe leave one with the cookies.

Fun, festive, tasty, and a drink that deserves to be celebrated by sipping during the holidays.

Is your bar stocked to make white chocolate peppermint martinis?

If you have a few candy canes, or peppermint rounds or sticks, now is the time to use them.

Of course, you can bypass the work and buy this HUGE container of crushed peppermint!

P.S. if your kids have them, snag them, they will NEVER miss them and you won’t miss the dental bill that follows, lol!

Now, it’s time for a sip, sip, hooray.

I keep a well-stocked bar, so that no matter the alcohol or liqueur I need, I’ve got it.

What I have learned is that sometimes a basic stock makes drink creation possible.

So, in that spirit, I tapped into what we had in our bar and started crafting white chocolate peppermint martinis.

First I considered what tastes blend.

I did not want any of the flavors to outshine the other.

Plus, blended drinks often are more palatable.

As I began to create the recipe, I stumbled upon a few things.

What’s In White chocolate peppermint martinis?

Vanilla vodka added to white crème de cacao, and peppermint schnapps combine beautifully and send a powerful taste of white chocolate peppermint.

For the rim, you will be using sugar, water, and crushed peppermint (as mentioned before).

Tip to keep the drink white.

When you craft this drink you want the color of white, like freshly fallen snow.

In order to achieve that you will need to use white crème de cacao

Make sure you use the white crème de cacao for this recipe.

The taste of the dark version works well, but it won’t give you the look you are after.

Prep Time for white chocolate peppermint martinis!

To make this drink, you will need only 15 minutes but you must know that I advise chilling all of the alcohol before using it for the best taste!

My listed ingredients craft only 1 at a time, so double up if you want to move it along faster and get to the merry on the other end at the bottom of the glass!

I remember when I made Rudolph’s Shooters, that combining can be a true party.

Festive Holiday Drinks Are So Pretty

Every time I prepare these festive holiday drinks I step back and admire them.

I think they are very pretty and oh so tasty!

SO, it’s a sip, taste, accept or reject kind of project!

After all, that’s half the fun of making festive holiday drinks right?

I mean who else is brutally honest and won’t hurt your feelings?

Well, we did all that, and then we tried it all again until we really nailed it!

Candy Cane Or Peppermints, It’s Gonna Get Messy!

Honestly, I’ve done every and anything not to let this part get messy but you gotta bust them up!

I’ve used a zippered bag, um… the bag gets punctured when the rolling pin goes over the hard candy.

Also, If you do not take them out one by one, you have another nightmare. (out of their wrapper)

Let’s just say if you drink before you prepare the rim, you MIGHT forget to take the wrappers off the peppermint sticks.

Could You Use Baileys? Festive White Chocolate Peppermint Martinis

You know, I really KNOW you can use Bailey’s Irish Cream in this, or if you want to get real inventive you could MAKE your own!

Here’s the best Irish Cream you can make at home, and OH is it easy!

So cheers to all of you, here’s your festive way to celebrate the holiday!
