Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Vanilla vodka
- 1 ounce Peppermint schnapps
- 1 ounce White crème de cacao
- 1 ounce Heavy cream
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peppermint candies
- 1 teaspoon Simple syrup
Instructions
Prepare the martini glass by rimming it with crushed peppermint candies. To do this, pour the simple syrup onto a small plate. Dip the rim of the glass into the syrup, ensuring it evenly coats the edge.
On another small plate, spread the crushed peppermint candies. Dip the syrup-coated rim of the glass into the crushed candies, pressing gently to adhere. Set the glass aside.
Fill a cocktail shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes.
Add vanilla vodka, peppermint schnapps, white crème de cacao, and heavy cream to the shaker.
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds, until the mixture is well-chilled and frothy.
Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass using a cocktail strainer.
Optionally, garnish with a small candy cane or a sprinkle of additional crushed peppermint candies on top for extra flair.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Silent Night Martini!
