A delicious holiday cocktail perfect for parties, gift wrapping sessions or just a Tuesday night! Coffee flavor + Peppermint is the perfect evening pick me up for the busy holiday season!
At this point in the holiday season…ok so really on a regular Tuesday for me…all the hustle and bustle starts to take it’s toll on you. You are tired of lines, tired of wrapping paper, tired of finding Christmas tree needles everywhere in your house…you need a drink {at least I need a drink!}. I am really happy to share with you another one of my favorite adult beverages! I made this one so I am extra proud of it! OK basically it is a white Russian with peppermint extract….but it was my idea to add the extract so therefore I coin it the White Christmas before anyone else can! It pretty much combines my favorite things…coffee and peppermint! I told you I was on a Peppermint Kick!
Supplies for White Christmas Spirits Cocktail:
Start out by filling a shaker with ice. Add vodka, Kahlua and milk and shake until super chilled. You will see the outside of the cocktail shaker start to frost over when it’s perfect!
Add extract or essential oil to your cocktail glass of choice. (You could also add peppermint schnapps if you have that!) I like to use these awesome red swirl martini glasses! They are fun and festive and you can use them for Valentine’s day and Patriotic holidays too!
Add drink mix to the peppermint in your glass. Garnish with a dash of nutmeg and a small candy cane. Super easy right?
