A CHILLY CANDY CANE MARTINI- Delicious and Fun!!!

Ingredients

• 3 oz. Vanilla vodka
• 3 oz. White crème de cacao
• 2 oz. Peppermint schnapps
• 3 Peppermint candy canes
• 2 Martini glasses
• 1 cup Ice
• Shaker

Assembling the Candy Cane Martini

1. In a shaker, combine the ice, 3 ounces of vanilla vodka, 3 ounces of white crème de cacao and two ounces of peppermint schnapps.
2. Shake the drink vigorously until well mixed.
3. Pour into a martini glass and garnish with a peppermint candy. (As the peppermint candy dissolves, the drink will take on a pink hue.)
4. Serve to the guests. This recipe yields two cocktails for holiday party guests. Garnish the glass with a candy cane.

Rimming the Glass

To add even more festive flair, crush up a candy cane using the back of a rolling pin or other heavy object. Then, dip the rim of the glass in a quarter inch of water. Next, dip the rim of the glass in the crushed candy cane pieces and voila, the glass will be rimmed.

Change the Flavor of the Martini

By using straight vodka, this recipe can be converted into any flavor schnapps available on the market. Then, simply garnish the martini with the corresponding flavor candy cane for a sweet treat of a cocktail. Think blueberry in the summer, or pumpkin in the fall to really impress the guests.
