CANDY CANE MARTINI RECIPE
Christmas Candy Cane Martini Recipe; an easy festive alcoholic beverage to bring you all the Christmas feels! Bursting with candy cane peppermint to celebrate this holiday season!
Ingredients
- 16 oz Peppermint schnapps
- 16 oz White creme de cacao
- 3 cups Half-and-half (more or less if you like the taste of alcohol)
- 1 splash Grenadine syrup
- Marshmallow Creme (for garnish) (just to wet your plate during glass garnish)
- 15 Small candy canes (give or take)
Instructions
- Mix together the peppermint schnapps, crème de cacao, half-and-half, and grenadine in a large pitcher with a few candy canes. Place the pitcher in the fridge until chilled. I recommend overnight so that the candy cane can full dissolve.
- If you don't have time to let it sit overnight, then I suggest placing it in the fridge for at least one hour. You can strain the candy canes when pour the mixture into the martini glasses. I personally recommend chilling overnight so you are able to get the full flavor from the peppermint candy.
- While the martini mix is chilling in the fridge, prepare and garnish your martini glasses. This is to prepare the rim of a martini glass before pouring in the liquid In a ziplock bag, crush the candy canes until fairly fine. If you don't want to use a ziplock bag you can use a food processor. Dip the rim of the glass in the marshmallow creme, spread on a plate, and then dip the glass rim in the crushed candy cane on a second plate.
- Once you have your prepared martini glass or glasses, you are going to carefully pour your martini mixture into them. You may have to strain it here to ensure no chunks of candy cane are undissolved in your drink.
