Ingredients
- 1 oz peppermint vodka
- 2 oz coffee liqueur
- 1/2 cup milk
- Ice cubes
- 2 crushed candy canes
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
Step 1: Crush the Candy Canes
Place candy canes or peppermint candies in a large resealable plastic bag.
Seal the bag tightly.
Use a rolling pin or a heavy skillet to pound the candies until they are coarsely crushed.
Alternatively, you can process them in a food processor using the on/off pulsing action to achieve the same result.
Step 2: Prepare the Glass Rim
In a small, shallow bowl, mix sugar and water until well blended.
Dip the rim of each glass into the sugar water mixture, then into the crushed candy canes to lightly coat the rims with peppermint crunch.
Step 3: Mix the Cocktail
Fill a cocktail shaker two-thirds full with ice.
Add peppermint vodka, coffee liqueur, and milk to the shaker.
Shake vigorously until the mixture is well mixed and chilled.
Step 4: Serve the Cocktail
Strain the mixed cocktail into the prepared martini glasses.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your festive peppermint martini!
