Ingredients

  • 2 ounces vanilla vodka
  • 1 1/2 ounces creme de cacao
  • 1 ounce peppermint schnapps

Garnish

  • 1 small candy cane (crushed and put on a small plate to rim the glass)
  • 2 small candy canes (this is optional - placing them in the cocktail will make the minty taste more intense. Taste it without or hang them on the rim to taste the cocktail as is.)

Instructions

  • Wet your finger with simple syrup and rub it on the glass rim inside and out. Roll it into the crushed candy canes so it completely covers the rim.

Notes

Helpful tips

Want an even mintier taste, add the optional candy cane as garnish in the cocktail. My advice is to sip it first without the candy addition so you can see if you'd enjoy having more of a minty taste or like it just the way it is.
