Description

Learn how to make a festive Peppermint White Russian with this easy holiday cocktail recipe. Includes variations, garnish ideas, and tips for mixing the perfect seasonal drink! 


Ingredients

  • 1 oz Vodka
  • 1 oz Coffee Liqueur
  • 3/4 oz Peppermint Schnapps
  • 2 oz Heavy Cream
  • GARNISH: Mini candy cane

Instructions

  1. OPTIONAL: Begin by rimming your cocktail glass with crushed candy canes.
  2. Fill the glass with ice cubes. Pour in the Vodka, Coffee Liqueur, and Peppermint Schnapps, then give it a gentle stir.
  3. For a layered drink, slowly pour the heavy cream over the back of a spoon to float the cream on top. If you prefer simplicity, combine all ingredients (including the cream) in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until cold, then strain into a cocktail glass with ice. 
  4. Finish with a garnish of your choice! I opted for a mini candy cane, but crushed peppermint candies, whipped cream, or chocolate syrup all make great options.
