Instructions
- If you'd like to rim your glass, dip the edge of the glass in a little simple syrup and then into a shallow bowl filled with crushed candy canes.
- Fill your cocktail shaker or jar half full with ice. Add the vodka, peppermint coffee liquor, espresso, and simple syrup.
- Secure the lid then shake for about 30 seconds to work up the foam.
- Strain into two martini glasses and garnish the cocktails with a mini candy cane.
Notes
- The foam on top of this recipe comes from machine-brewed espresso. If you use strong drip coffee instead and want the foam on top, you'll need to add an egg white or a few drops of a cocktail foamer.
- To make simple syrup, heat 1 tablespoon of sugar with 2 tablespoons of water until the sugar dissolves. For the sugar, you can use granulated sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
- To crush candy canes, place them in a bag and hit them several times with a rubber mallet.
