Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz. Chilled vanilla vodka
  • 1 oz. White crème de cacao chilled
  • 1 oz. Chilled Peppermint schnapps
  • FESTIVE RIM
  • 3 T. white sugar
  • 3 T. hot water
  • 3 oz. peppermint candy crushed
  • *OPTIONAL
  • Small candy canes to hang off the glass

Instructions
 

  • Peppermint Candy Prep
  • First, you want to take the wrappers off of the candy canes or the peppermint pieces.
  • Next, grab a zipper plastic bag and cover with a paper towel then pound those candy into small pieces (call it therapy! lol)
  • Transfer the crushed pieces to a shallow plate where you can dip the MOUTH of the glass in so make sure it is big enough
  • Set this aside.
  • Next, we are going to make the simple syrup for the martini glass rims
  • Stir white sugar and hot water together.
  • You'll need to make this with equal parts of hot water: sugar. 1:1.
  • Once the sugar is dissolved you've got gold (trust me simply syrup is something I am NEVER without in my kitchen, so make a jar and keep it!
  • Next, you will be pouring the simple syrup into a shallow bowl, again, remember that you need to get the mouth of that martini glass in there so make sure it is wide enough.
  • Set this next to the crushed candy cane bowl, and let's make the rimmed part of this white chocolate peppermint martini!
  • First, invert the martini glass and place the rim of the martini glass into the simple syrup.
  • Second, move to the candy cane bowl and gently twist the moistened rim into the crushed peppermint until the entire rim is evenly coated.
  • Set this martini glass aside and admire your work, and let's make the drink portion shall we?
  • IN a cocktail shaker add ice then vodka.
  • Follow with crème de cacao and peppermint schnapps.
  • Shake vigorously until thoroughly combined.
  • Strain chilled liquid into a prepared martini glass.
  • Garnish with a small candy cane, if desired, and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy! 
  • Repeat for each additional martini!
  • Sip, Sip. Hooray! Dana XO
