Frosty Peppermint Dream Cocktail ❄️
A festive and easy-to-make peppermint cocktail, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Equipment
- Glass
Ingredients
- 1.5 tablespoons coffee liqueur (0.75 fl oz)
- 1.5 tablespoons vodka (0.75 fl oz)
- 1.5 tablespoons peppermint schnapps (0.75 fl oz)
- 1 tablespoon half-and-half (or milk for a lighter option)
- ice cubes as needed
- crushed candy canes or peppermint Optional: for rim and garnish
- simple syrup Optional: for glass rim
- whipped cream Optional: for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Your Glass (Optional Garnish): If you're feeling festive, get two small plates. Pour a bit of simple syrup onto one and crushed peppermint or candy canes onto the other. Dip the rim of your glass (an old-fashioned or highball works great) into the simple syrup first, then into the crushed peppermint for a delightful, crunchy edge.
- Add Ice: Fill your chosen glass generously with fresh ice cubes.
- Mix the Base: Pour the coffee liqueur, vodka, and peppermint schnapps directly into the glass over the ice. Stir gently until all the spirits are well combined.
- Add Creaminess: Splash in the half-and-half (or milk for a lighter version). Stir just a little more until the drink reaches your desired level of creamy perfection.
- Serve & Enjoy: For a final touch, you can add a small dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed peppermint on top. Your easy and delightful Christmas cocktail is ready to be enjoyed!
Notes
Feel free to adjust the amount of half-and-half or milk to your desired creaminess. You can also experiment with other garnishes like chocolate shavings or a sprig of mint.
