Description

The Frosted Christmas Cheer Cocktail is a creamy, festive holiday drink featuring smooth vanilla vodka, white chocolate liqueur, and peppermint with a snowy crushed-candy rim.


Ingredients

  • 2 oz vanilla vodka
  • 1 oz white chocolate liqueur (e.g., Godiva)
  • 1 oz peppermint schnapps
  • 1 oz half-and-half or heavy cream
  • Ice
  • Crushed candy canes (for rimming)
  • Honey or simple syrup (for rimming)
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Holiday sprinkles or mini candy cane (optional garnish)


Instructions

  1. Rim a chilled cocktail glass with honey or simple syrup, then dip into crushed candy canes.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  3. Add vanilla vodka, white chocolate liqueur, peppermint schnapps, and half-and-half.
  4. Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until frosty.
  5. Strain into the prepared glass.
  6. Top with whipped cream and garnish with sprinkles or a mini candy cane if desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker, creamier drink, use heavy cream instead of half-and-half.
  • Reduce peppermint schnapps for a milder mint flavor.
  • Chill glasses ahead of time for extra frostiness.
  • Add a splash of vanilla syrup for added sweetness.
