Prepare the glass by pouring a small amount of water onto a plate. Dip the rim of the martini glass into the water, then into a plate of crushed candy canes, coating the rim evenly. Set the glass aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the peppermint vodka, peppermint schnapps, candy cane-infused vodka, and crème de cacao.
Add ice to the shaker, then shake vigorously until the mixture is well-chilled.
Strain the cocktail into the prepared martini glass.
Serve immediately and enjoy this cool, festive treat.
Notes
Pro Tips
For extra sweetness, use simple syrup instead of water when rimming the glass to help the crushed candy canes stick better.
Use white crème de cacao for a clear, festive-looking martini.
Garnish with a mini candy cane hanging off the rim or add a small peppermint stick to stir.
