Equipment

  • Martini Glasses
  • Boston Shaker
  • Cocktail Strainer

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce Vanilla Vodka
  • 1 ounce Creme de Cacao
  • 1 ounce Peppermint Schnapps
  • 1 ounce half and half
  • .25 ounce grenadine
  • crushed candy cane optional garnish

Instructions

  • In a cocktail shaker filled with ice add vanilla vodka, creme de cacao, and peppermint schnapps. Shake until very cold. About 20-30 seconds.
  • Add half and half. Swirl to combine.
  • In a chilled martini glass pour grenadine into the bottom and swirl around the edges.
  • Strain and pour Candy Cane Martini into glass.
  • Sip and enjoy responsibly.

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.
