Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Vanilla vodka
- 1 oz Peppermint schnapps
- 1 oz White crème de cacao
- 2 oz Half-and-half
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 2 pieces Candy canes (crushed, for garnish)
- 1 dollop Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 1 piece Mini candy cane (whole, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the garnish. Crush two candy canes into small pieces using a rolling pin or food processor. Place the crushed candy canes on a small plate.
Take a chilled martini glass and lightly dampen the outer rim with water or half-and-half. Dip the rim into the crushed candy canes, pressing gently to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.
Fill a cocktail shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes.
Add 2 oz of vanilla vodka, 1 oz of peppermint schnapps, 1 oz of white crème de cacao, and 2 oz of half-and-half to the shaker.
Secure the lid tightly on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 20-30 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.
Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared martini glass.
If desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a mini candy cane resting on the side of the glass.
Serve immediately and enjoy your festive Candy Cane Lane Martini!
