12 Drinks of Christmas – Day 1

First cocktail up is the Cherry Candy Cane. This martini has hints of mint and cherry. The candy-coated rim is a fun treat that wraps the whole cocktail together.

• 1 oz Vanilla Vodka
• 0.5 oz Peppermint Schnapps
• 0.75 oz Kirsch
• 2 oz Club Soda

Fill a martini shaker half-full of ice. Add vodka, peppermint schnapps and kirsch. Shake hard until the shaker begins to frost. Pour into a chilled martini glass rimmed with crushed candy cane. Add club soda.

This is a really sweet cocktail. Perfect if you’re like me and need a good pick-me-up before going out.

• 1 oz Vodka
• 1 oz Peach Schnapps
• 1 oz Blue Curacao
• 1 can Red Bull

Pour vodka, Red Bull and peach schnapps in a highball glass. Add a small amount of curaçao until the mixture is a deep green. Add ice and then pour the remainder of the curaçao down the side of the glass to leave a layer of blue at the bottom.

Whisk yourself away to a summer evening on Ocean Blvd in South Beach, Miami, Florida.

• 1 oz Vodka
• 1 oz Peach Schnapps
• 2 tbsp Frozen Mango Concentrate
• 1/2 oz Pineapple juice
• 1/2 oz Orange juice
• 1/2 oz Cranberry juice

Pour all ingredients into a martini shaker half-filled with ice. Shake until the outside of the martini shaker starts to frost. Pour into a chilled martini glass.

Chocolate and mint were meant to be together – just like you and your true love, especially on a cold winter night.
