Candy Cane Martini
The sweetest, mintiest, tastiest candy cane martini you will ever experience. (definitely the sweetest...but you can't legally pour 5 oz of booze, so what else am I supposed to do?)
Equipment
- basic cocktail equipment
Ingredients
- 2 oz vodka drink local!
- 1 oz peppermint schnapps
- ½ oz creme de cacao
- ½ oz simple syrup (1:1 ratio)
Instructions
Rim Glass
- On one plate, crush several candy canes into small pieces.
- On a separate plate, pour out a small amount of simple syrup.
- Gently slide martini glass rim through the simple syrup, coating around the rim.
- While still tacky, take coated glass through candy cane crumb stack.
Cocktail mixing
- Combine ingredients into breaker or shaker.
- Dump in tons of ice and stir until a light condensation develops on beaker, 20-30 seconds. (Remember, shaker will not produce clear drink, so choose at your discretion)
- Strain directly into rimmed martini glass. Oh man, you will enjoy.
Notes
Heads up, this is a larger serving than is normally allowed in licensed establishments, containing 3.5 oz of liquor. 1 1/2 oz. are lower alcohol, but I just don't want to get anyone in trouble.
