Candy Cane Martini

Posted in : Cocktail on February 19, 2010 by : wendland99

Vodka is a pretty versatile drink, when it comes to the flavors you can incorporate. Unconventional ingredients like chocolate and mocha can be easily turned into a luscious martini, when combined with vodka. So is a candy cane-flavored martini possible? Of course!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz vodka
• 1/2 – 1 tsp peppermint schnapps
• 1 oz club soda
• ice
• crushed candy canes

Materials:

• cocktail shaker
• martini glass

Procedure:

1. Put some ice in the cocktail shaker.
2. Once done, pour the vodka, peppermint schnapps, and the club soda inside the container.
3. Shake the shaker vigorously then pour its contents in a martini glass.
4. Top it off with crushed candy canes as garnish.
5. Serve.

If you find the drink too sweet, you can add more ice. Peppermint schnapps has a strong minty flavor, so you should experiment first with the mixes before serving it to your friends. (If you’re interested in making a candy cane platter, read how to make candy cane platter)
