Peppermint Patty Twist Martini Recipes

Steps:

• To start preparing the peppermint patty martini, grab a cocktail shaker and add in one cup of ice cubes or crushed ice. Next, pour 30 ml of vodka, 30 ml of white crème de menthe, 30 ml of dark crème de cacao and 60 ml of half-and-half into the cocktail shaker loaded with ice. Now, screw the lid of the cocktail shaker on tightly, to prevent the drink from splashing out, and give it a couple of vigorous shakes, in order to make sure all the ingredients have blended together thoroughly. Then, hold a strainer over the martini glasses, and pour the peppermint patty martini into these - make sure no shards of ice make their way into your martini. As a final touch, garnish the glasses by hanging mini candy canes from the rims. Serve straight up and chilled.

Steps:

• Fill a cocktail shake with ice. Pour vodka, creme de menthe, and peppermint schnapps over the ice. Cover cocktail shaker and shake; strain into a martini glass.

Steps:

• Make cocoa mix as directed on package, using water instead of milk. In small bowl, stir together crème de cacao, schnapps and cognac; stir into hot cocoa.
• Pour mixture evenly into 4 Irish coffee glasses. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Steps:

• I prefer Absolute Vodka (actually I prefer Grey Goose or Level, but I can afford Absolute). 1 1/2 ounces equals 1 jigger.
• Combine all ingredients in shaker.
• Strain and serve in chilled martini glass (easy way to chill a martini glass is to let it sit a couple of minutes with ice water in it).
• You will not get closer to a peppermint patty flavor than this.
• Enjoy.
