Candy Cane Martini This looks delicious!! Ingredients 2 ounces of vodka (quality of vodka isn’t as important in this recipe as other vodka forward cocktails) 1 ounce white creme de cacao 1 ounce white creme de menthe Whipped cream Candy canes for garnish Directions In a cocktail shaker with ice, add vodka, crushed candy canes, white creme de cacao and white creme de menthe Give it a good shake until ingredients are chilled and well combined You can prepare the glass in two festive ways, either adding whipped cream and crushed candy canes to the drink after preparing it in a martini glass or rimming the glass with corn syrup and crushed candy canes prior to adding the prepared cocktail.
