For several years, this has been the most popular cocktail recipe on my blog and it is also one of my favorites to make during the holidays... I think almost everyone has a peppermint bark addiction during the holidays. I cannot wait for it to come out in the stores each holiday season. This martini has the same smooth white chocolate flavor with a peppermint kick. Try these for your annual Christmas party or for sitting by the fire after a long day of holiday decorating or shopping. A rim of crushed candy canes or a candy cane stirrer is the perfect garnish. Uh-- p.s.... these are pretty strong.

PEPPERMINT BARK MARTINI

Makes one

INGREDIENTS

1 ounce vanilla vodka ( I usually keep my in the freezer to keep it really cold before serving)

1 ounce Godiva White Chocolate Liquor

½ ounce peppermint liqueur (peppermint schnapps or white crème de menthe will work)

Splash of heavy whipping cream

DIRECTIONS

Garnish the martini glass with mini candy canes or crush peppermint bark or candy canes to rim the glass. To rim, dip the edge of the rim into the liqueur and then dip into the crushed bark. Chill.

Fill your cocktail shaker with ice. Add all ingredients and shake until really cold. Pour into chilled glass.
