The Genuine Candy Cane Martini
No flavor 'says' Christmas quite like peppermint. The candy cane is the perfect celebration of this fabulous flavor. Chad can't seem to get enough candy cane. We have been enjoying candy canes in ice cream, cookies, cakes, hot cocoa... Well you had to know a candy cane cocktail was just around the corner.
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
- 8 ounces whipped cream vodka
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.
- Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to combine, strain out ice and pour into prepared martini glass and garnish with a candy cane. Serve and enjoy!
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.
