Pink Peppermint Cocktail
Description
Preparation begins by infusing candy cane vodka at least 30 minutes prior to mixing. A glass is rimmed with water then dipped in sparkling sugar or crushed candy canes to add decorative sweetness and texture. The cocktail shaker is filled with ice and ingredients including candy cane vodka, white crème de cacao, vanilla simple syrup, and cream or half and half. Thorough shaking chills and blends the flavors.
Pouring the mixture into the prepared glass creates a smooth, creamy cocktail with a bright pink hue. The candy cane garnish enhances the drink’s peppermint aroma and visual appeal.
