Candy Cane Martini – Yummy!
Candy Cane Martinis have been consumed in our house for the last few Christmas seasons. We have searched all corners of the internet looking for the best recipe, and have a favourite. So today I thought I’d share it.
Note that I cannot take credit for it, we found it somewhere on the internet. But unfortunately we have no idea where, so I cannot provide the original source.
For 2 Martini’s mix with ice in a Cocktail Shaker:
- 5 oz Vanilla Vodka
- 2 oz White Crème De Menthe
- ½ oz Peppermint Schnapps
A few tasty tricks:
- Add a drop or two of food coloring to create your favourite Christmas colour.
- Add a tasty Christmassy garnish. I’m a big fan of coloured sugar or crushed candy cane on the rim of the glass, and mini candy canes too.
- Green Crème De Menthe works just as well as White Crème De Menthe. I prefer white only because it provides the opportunity to customize the colour.
Merry Christmas to everyone!
Enjoy responsibly!

They taste just like candy canes. Which is funny because I don’t really like candy canes, but I sure like them in liquid form. 🙂

They are just so good – let me know what you think. A word from the experienced, since you don’t taste the alcohol they are pretty dangerous too. 🙂

I wish I could add a photo comment because my mother in law is currently passed out on the couch from too many.
