Candy Cane Holiday Mocktail

This mocktail will make you feel like you are strolling down a magical winter walkway in a horse drawn sleigh! It is cool, creamy and perfectly pepperminty!

INGREDIENTS (4 servings)

  • 1 cup half and half
  • 12 oz. cream soda
  • 4 tsp. simple syrup
  • 2-4 drops peppermint oil or extract
  • candy canes
  • 4 tsp. simple syrup

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. To prepare the martini rims, pour some simple syrup into a low bowl and the crushed candy canes onto a plate or another low bowl.  Dip the glasses first in simple syrup, then into the crushed candy canes.
  2. To make the drink, simply stir together 1 cup half and half, 12 oz. cream soda, 4 tsp. simple syrup and 2-4 drops of peppermint oil in a small pitcher.
  3. Pour mixed drink into the candy cane rimmed martini glasses.

NOTES

  • Add more peppermint for stronger flavor or less for a more muted peppermint taste.
  • Replace half and half with a non-dairy option for a vegan mocktail!
  • Add a splash of vodka for a delightfully boozy drink!
