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.  He is the most impossible person to buy a gift for.  WHY?  Because he doesn’t want anything.  YUCK!  How can you possibly buy the perfect gift for someone who doesn’t want anything?  YOU CAN’T, are you feelin’ my pain?  Well, enough about my shopping predicament, that is unless you have a suggestion, don’t hesitate, send it NOW! 🙂
Back to my Peppermint Martini, can you tell I just drank it? Â YUM! Â I am a little tipsy with a sugar buzz!
