Peppermint Marshmallow Martini
Description
This martini combines vodka with half and half and peppermint vanilla syrup, shaken with ice to chill and mix the ingredients. The vanilla aspect can be enhanced by using marshmallow or vanilla vodka, lending extra creaminess and sweetness. The glass rim is dipped first in syrup and then crushed candy canes for a decorative and flavorful garnish that complements the peppermint in the drink.
The preparation is straightforward, involving shaking the ingredients until cold and serving in a martini glass, suitable as a holiday or dessert cocktail. The crushed candy cane rim adds texture and a festive appearance without overpowering the drink’s smooth mint and vanilla profile.
