Peppermint White Russian, serves one

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces Kahlua
  • 2 ounces peppermint vodka
  • splash of half and half
  • candy canes for garnish

Instructions

  • Start by placing a few peppermint sticks into a plastic bag. Use a hammer to gently break up the candy canes into little pieces.
  • To make some peppermint ice cubes, fill an ice cube tray almost to the top with water and freeze (those big ice cube trays are perfect for cocktails). Add a small layer of water to the top of your frozen ice cubes, sprinkle on some crushed peppermint, and place back in the freezer so the top layer will freeze the peppermint bits to the ice cube.
  • When you are ready to make your drink, place some honey (or agave syrup) on one small plate and dip the rim of your glass into the honey. Add your crushed peppermint onto the other plate and dip your sticky rim into the peppermint bits.
  • Pour your Kahlua and peppermint vodka into the glass. Add a splash of cream and stir to combine. Place your peppermint ice cube into your glass and serve immediately!
