This Candy Cane Martini is perfect for the holidays with Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur, vanilla vodka and peppermint schnapps. A floating of whipped cream with a candy cane rim and garnishment make this dessert martini a festive treat.
It isn’t the holiday season without me adding a new martini to the cocktail page. This one is a new favorite for sure. I love the subtle hints of peppermint mixed with the heavenly taste of Godiva White Chocolate.
It doesn’t have that overpowering sweetness like a candy cane, so it is just pure bliss in a glass. I like to add whipped cream to just about anything, but the recipe is definitely good enough as a stand alone cocktail without it. All you really need is a small candy cane hanging from the rim to complete this festive look.
I’ve been sitting on this recipe for a couple of weeks and am finally making it happen two days before Christmas. How the heck did that happen anyway? I kept telling myself that there is plenty of time and here I am doing a Christmas post and still planning a couple of great new appetizers for New Year’s.
Stay tuned for Cranberry Roll-ups and Cranberry Jalapeno Dip.
Do you have a family tradition for the holidays? I host a Christmas brunch every year and there are several things that must be present every year. Otherwise, I will be dealing with the cranks. That is why I always recommend cocktails to feed a crowd.
A Cranberry Christmas Sangria or Cranberry Orange Punch are festive and always a favorite. The kids love helping make a Candy Cane Breakfast Pastry and everyone demands Overnight Apple French Toast. Making the main casseroles the night before is a must in order to actually enjoy the holiday.
