Peppermintini

Ingredients

• Martini Saucer (up glass)
• Small Candy Canes
• Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup
• White Creme de Cacao
• Vanilla Vodka
• Godiva Chocolate Liqueur (chilled in the refrigerator)
• Peppermint Schnapps
• Heavy Cream
• Ice

Preparation

Crush a few candy canes into a fine crumble, spread the crumble on a small plate. Take another small plate and squirt enough Hershey’s syrup onto it to line the bottom. Dip the rim of a martini glass into the chocolate and then into the candy cane crumble to rim the glass.

Pour 1 Ounce of chilled Godiva Chocolate Liqueur into the bottom of the Martini Glass    

In a shaker glass filled with ice add:

•  1 Ounce Vanilla Vodka (we like Stolichnaya)
•  1 Ounce Peppermint Schnapps (100 Proof Rumplemintz all the way)
• ½ Ounce White Crème de Cacao (Hiram Walker)
•  1 ½ Ounces Heavy Cream

Shake Until Painfully Cold ~ Then Shake a Bit More.  Gently strain over the back of a bar spoon into the martini glass as to not stir up the Godiva Chocolate liqueur, creating a layered drink. Hang a small candy cane off the rim of the glass as a garnish.
