Candycanecocktail Recipes

• Put the peppermint schnapps, creme de cacao, vanilla ice cream, and one candy cane (break it into bits) in a blender and blend until thick and smooth. Add milk if the mixture is too thick to blend.

Steps:

• Snap the candy canes into small pieces, about 2cm in length. Tip into a large jug or jar and pour over the vodka so they're covered.
• Cover and chill for at least 3-5 hrs, or until the sweets have dissolved (there may be a little bit of candy cane left, but most should have dissolved). Strain and pour into clean bottles through a strainer or sieve, using a funnel to help you. Will keep chilled for a week. Serve chilled as a liqueur or in a cocktail (see 'goes well with', below).

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat milk until hot, but not boiling. Whisk in the chocolate and the crushed peppermint candies until melted and smooth. Pour hot cocoa into four mugs, and garnish with whipped cream. Serve each with a candy cane stirring stick.
