Notes

Here are my best tips for making this recipe:

Always use high quality ice to make any cocktail
If you don't have vanilla vodka, then plain, whipped vodka or peppermint vodka will work.
If you use peppermint vodka, then cut back on the peppermint schnapps.
Creme de menthe will work in place of peppermint schnapps, but it will be green. I'd eliminate the grenadine in order to keep the color pretty.
