Thirsty Thursdays: Peppermint Stick Martini

How could you not want to sip on this, or at least pretend! It's so pretty and festive!

Ingredients:

1 peppermint stick, crushed

1 1/2 ounces vodka

1 ounce peppermint schnapps

1 ounce Triple Sec

Ice

1 small candy cane

Directions:

Moisten the rim of a chilled martini glass and dip the wet rim into the pummeled peppermint. Combine the vodka, schnapps, Triple Sec and ice in a cocktail shaker.

Shake it like Santa knows you've been bad. Carefully strain the mix into the martini glass and garnish with the candy cane. Ho ho ho and away we go!
