White Chocolate Peppermint Martini Recipe
Holidays are fast approaching, which means cheerful cocktails with festive garnishes! This peppermint martini is rich and creamy from the white chocolate liqueur while the vanilla-flavored vodka adds interest. Peppermint schnapps give it a cool and refreshing feel. It’s perfect for an upcoming cookie exchange or for sipping near a fireplace on a chilly winter night.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup white melting wafers, candy melts, or white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon red sanding sugar
- 6 ounces white chocolate liqueur
- 4 ounces vanilla vodka
- 2 ounces peppermint schnapps
- Ice
Directions:
- Place 1 tablespoon red sanding sugar in a small plate. Microwave 1/4 cup white melting wafers in a small microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Dip the rims of 2 large martini glasses with the melted white chocolate, then into the sanding sugar to coat. Place in the freezer while preparing the cocktails.
- Pour 6 ounces white chocolate liqueur, 4 ounces vanilla vodka, and 2 ounces peppermint schnapps in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake until cold. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into the martini glasses. Garnish each with a small candy cane.
