I was thinking of Christmas and I used this as a signature drink last year. Really yummy! Put it on the dinner plan you have going.
- 3-4 peppermint candy canes, crushed fine
- 4 oz. vanilla vodka
- 2 oz. peppermint schnapps
- 2 1/4 oz. white creme de cacao, extra for dipping glasses
Pour a little white creme de cacao in a saucer and dip the rims of 4 glasses in. In a small bowl, put the crushed peppermint cane and dip the edges of the glasses to coat the edge. Fill a shaker with ice and shake ingredients to chill. Strain into glasses.
Remember, this makes 4 signature drinks. Two or more of these tasty delights makes it a hangover.
Nuts to You Martini
Company coming over? Well, here at our home, we always offer a ‘signature martini’ to start the evening.
- 2 parts vanilla vodka
- 1 part amaretto liqueur
- 1 part franjelico liqueur
- 1 part dark chocolate liqueur
Pour ingredients into a shaker filled with ice and shake well. Strain and pour into martini glasses and garnish with a couple of unsalted hazelnuts or almonds.
It sounds like a lot, but the bottles will keep in the cupboard until the next time you make them. (May be sooner than you think as this is yummy.)
