Peppermint Martini is the perfect way to toast in the holidays with friends. Vodka, Peppermint Schnapps and crushed candy cane.
Toasting the Holidays in Style.
I had to do a Christmas drink to follow up my week long Christmas Cookie marathon. I fiddled with doing a Christmas cookie cocktail, an eggnog shot, a milky way galaxy (that might show up here soon), but I picked the peppermint martini, why?
Because those freakin’chocolate peppermint cookies that I made are to DIE FOR and I ate the last one and to console myself I made myself a peppermint martini.
Don’t judge me!
I am almost done with my Christmas shopping, well except for my husband. Ā He is the most impossible person to buy a gift for. Ā WHY? Ā Because he doesn’t want anything. Ā YUCK! Ā How can you possibly buy the perfect gift for someone who doesn’t want anything? Ā YOU CAN’T, are you feelin’ my pain? Ā Well, enough about my shopping predicament, that is unless you have a suggestion, don’t hesitate, send it NOW! š
Back to my Peppermint Martini, can you tell I just drank it? Ā YUM! Ā I am a little tipsy with a sugar buzz!
