Servings: 1
- 1.5 ounces Vodka
- 1 ounce cranberry juice
- 0.5 ounce peppermint schnapps
- Crushed candy canes for rimming the glass
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.
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.
