Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 ounces Vodka
  • 1 ounce cranberry juice
  • 0.5 ounce peppermint schnapps
  • Crushed candy canes for rimming the glass

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing the glass: place a small amount of water in a shallow bowl and dip the rim of the glass into it.
  • Spread the crushed candy canes on a plate, then dip the moistened rim into the crushed candy to coat.
  • In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the vodka, cranberry juice, and peppermint schnapps.
  • Shake well until the mixture is chilled.
  • Strain the drink into the prepared glass and serve immediately.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • For a thicker candy cane rim, use a bit of simple syrup or honey instead of water to help the crushed candy stick.
  • Chill the glass in the freezer before preparing the drink to keep it extra cold.
  • Garnish with a fresh cranberry or a small sprig of mint for a festive touch.
