    Equipment

    • cocktail shaker
    • martini glasses or any pretty glasses to serve

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 2 ounce vanilla vodka chilled
    • 1 ounce white crème de cacao chilled
    • 1 ounce Peppermint schnapps chilled

    Rim:

    • 3 ounces peppermint candy crushed
    • ¼ fresh lime

    Optional garnish:

    • small candy canes

    Instructions
     

    • Place peppermint candy in a plastic bag and cover with a towel. Pound bag with a meat mallet or rolling pin until the candy is crushed into very small pieces. Transfer crushed candy pieces to a flat plate.
    • Run a small wedge of lime around the rim of a martini glass until it is very well moistened. Turn the martini glass upside down and place moistened rim onto plate of crushed peppermints. Turn the glass gently to ensure the entire rim is evenly coated.
    • Fill cocktail shaker with ice and add vodka, crème de cacao, and peppermint schnapps. Shake vigorously until thoroughly combined. Strain chilled liquid into a prepared martini glass and add a small candy cane, if desired. Serve immediately.
