‘Tis the Season for Good Tidings and Good Cheer! And I have tons of ways to help you shake up your favorite Spirits to help you get into the Holiday Spirit!
Vodka is awesome. It is one of my favorite spirits to play around with. It mixes well with just about everything. It’s delicious chilled with some olives or a lime wedge. It is great as a base for creating infusions. Like a Candy Cane infusion.
Yes, Candy Cane infused Vodka. Delicious in some hot chocolate with tons of whipped cream. Or a simply chilled and garnished with crushed canes for a Candy Cane Martini. Or mixed with a few other ingredients to make something extra special. Extra, extra special.
One of my absolute favorite Christmas cookies from my childhood were Candy Cane Cookies. Traditional Sugar Cookie mix and pink Peppermint spiked Sugar Cookie mix twisted together in the shape of a Candy Cane. I loved these things. So I used my Candy Cane infused vodka to recreate my favorite Christmas Cookie! I hope you like it as much as I do!
- Candy Cane Cookie
- -1.25 oz Candy Cane infused Vodka
- -.5 oz French Vanilla Coffee Creamer
- -about ½ a teaspoon of Krusteaz Sugar Cookie Mix
Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin, add ice, and shake! Double strain into a shooter glass or a martini glass if your feeling fancy. Garnish with a mini Candy Cane and enjoy!
*Candy Cane Infused Vodka
You can infuse the entire bottle or just a couple of cups. The choice is yours.
Combine your vodka and Candy Canes in a sealable container.
For every 2 cups of vodka add about 3 Candy Canes. Shake container every hour or so. Once Candy Canes completely dissolve in the vodka it’s ready to use. For the entire bottle I would use 7 full size Candy Canes.
