Peppermint Patty Martini, plus a bonus recipe


Ho ho ho
Christmas is almost here.
Are you ready?
Are you feeling in the spirit?
Here's my advice, if your shopping isn't done, get online and join Amazon Prime and get shopping.  Easy. Done.
Need to get in the Christmas spirit?  A little Peppermint Patty Martini should do the trick. 



Makes 1 large, or 2 small
Ingredients

1 jigger Peppermint schnapps, or peppermint vodka
1 jigger Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
1 jigger Vanilla vodka or whipped cream vodka
1 jigger Half and half
A couple of small candy canes, plus some more smashed into bits

Pulverize some candy canes until you have about 3-4 Tbsp of peppermint candy dust for the martini glass rims.  You could skip this step, but nibbling on the rim of the glass is part of the fun of enjoying this martini.

Peppermint White Russian
Very much like above but with Bailey's instead of chocolate liqueur.

Makes 2 small, or 1 large
Ingredients

1 jigger Peppermint schnapps
1 jigger Bailey's Irish Cream
1 jigger Vanilla vodka or whipped cream vodka
1 jigger Half and half
Pulverized candy cane dust...
