Ingredients
 

  • 2 ounces infused Candy Cane Vodka, recipe to follow
  • 2 ounces DiSaronno Amaretto
  • 2 ounces International Delight French Vanilla Creamer
  • Crushed candy canes, for rimming the glass
  • Peppermint stick or candy cane, for garnish
  • 10 full size candy canes, broken in bite size pieces

Instructions
 

  • Prepare a martini glass by dipping rim of glass in a shallow dish of candy cane vodka or other liquid of choice. Transfer to a shallow dish of crushed candy canes, gently spin in dish until coated. **If you are rimming with large chunks, try brushing a thicker substance such as corn syrup on glass and then gently pressing candy canes onto glass. Set aside.

Donna’s Notes

In a medium size resealable glass jar combine candy canes and vodka. Allow to sit for about 4 hours until candy canes are most or completely dissolved. Strain infusion through a fine mesh strainer to remove any lingering candy cane pieces. Use as desired.

  1. Does the homemade infused vodka taste very different from the Smirnoff Peppermint Twist vodka? I have the whipped vodka and candy canes, but want to know if it changes the flavor profile of the drink.

      1. How many candy canes would be needed to infuse 8 ounces of vodka. The recipe does not give quantities. It just says place vodka and candy in a medium size jar.

  2. 5 stars
    just made this with both the DiSaronno and swapped it out with Kailua both are great. Added whip cream and chocolate curls on top for flare. thanks for this recipe!
