I’ve made some version of a peppermint martini quite a few times before, but today I’m sharing the recipe for what’s by far the BEST Peppermint Martini I’ve ever made or tasted, including those I’ve ordered at places. The secret weapon is white chocolate liqueur, white cacao as the one I used is called. It takes this drink up a notch, so it doesn’t taste like you’re just downing peppermint schnapps. That along with a touch of Irish liqueur that gives it a subtle cream is what makes it the BEST Peppermint Martini in my opinion!
The fun thing about this cocktail and most holiday cocktails is all of the creative options you have in serving presentation from glassware to garnishes-it’s really what holiday cocktails are all about!
The BEST Peppermint Martini
Ingredients:
- 1 oz peppermint vodka
- 1 oz white cacao liqueur (white chocolate), can substitute with vanilla vodka
- .5 oz Irish cream
- mini candy cane for garnish
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake 15 seconds. (Shake well! You want that foam). Pour into martini glass. I garnished with a crushed candy cane rim and a mini candy cane.
