Peppermint White Russians - The White Christmas Cocktail
This peppermint White Russian is a festive twist on a beloved cocktail! The classic flavors of Kahlua and cream are given a bit of holiday spirit when they’re mixed with peppermint and chocolate liquor, making this the perfect Christmas cocktail to indulge in by the fireplace this winter.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
For the garnish:
- 2 glasses
- ½ cup melted chocolate
- ⅓ cup crushed candy canes/peppermint
- whole candy canes optional
For the cocktails:
- 2 oz Kahlua
- 2 oz vanilla flavored vodka
- 1 oz Godiva chocolate liqueur
- splash of peppermint extract
- 1 cup half and half or milk product of choice
Instructions
For the garnish:
- Melt your chocolate in a large bowl, or pour melted chocolate onto a plate.
- Dip and roll your glasses into the melted chocolate, making the rim of chocolate thick enough to hold as much crushed peppermint as you'd like.
- Sprinkle the crushed peppermint onto your glasses and then place in the freezer to harden (or leave out at room temperature if you want the chocolate to drip down the glass slightly).
For the cocktails:
- Add your Kahlua, vodka, and liqueur to a shaker with ice and swirl to cool down.
- Pour the alcohol mixture into your glasses and add a splash of peppermint extract.
- If you like ice in your drink, add it here.
- Pour your half and half (or your milk product of choice) into your glasses, add your candy cane, and enjoy!
