This week #SundaySupper is hosted by Conni of The Foodie Army Wife. Conni chose the theme to be Holiday Drinks and Appetizers. When I first heard the theme I immediately wanted to make a holiday drink. I don't often make cocktails at home but when I do I like them to be pretty and festive.Since I bought several boxes of candy canes last week I really wanted to make a cocktail that incorporated them into the drink. I saw several recipes for Candy Cane Martini's and picked one that sounded the best to me.
Vanilla vodka, chocolate vodka, and peppermint schnapps are combined in a shaker filled with ice then poured into a candy cane rimmed glass. While the beverage is clear, it begins to turn pink once a candy cane is hung off the side. It's a beautiful and festive holiday beverage that tastes amazing too. The chocolate and vanilla vodkas mix together and have just a hint of the peppermint schnapps.
