Peppermint Cookietini Cocktail recipe is a peppermint cookie turned into a cocktail recipe.  It’s the perfect party cocktail drink recipe and the easy to make for the holidays or Christmas! It’s even a great New Year’s drink recipe!  I also have a few ideas to make a version for the kiddos, so read on.  Happy holidays!  If you’re looking for more holiday or cocktail drink recipes, try my RECIPE INDEX for many more ideas.

I had a long list of holiday and Christmas recipes I was going to post this week but I’m having a very difficult time getting back into the holiday spirit here in Connecticut.  I may have to save some recipes for next year.  I was actually all set to post this recipe last Friday but cancelled it after the tragedy at Sandy Hook a few towns over from mine.  I’m trying very hard to get back into the holiday spirit and I’m wishing each of you a very happy, healthy, and peaceful holiday season.  I have so much to be thankful for this year and hope you do too.

This Peppermint Cookietini cocktail is a simple and easy party cocktail drink.  The recipe only has a few ingredients.  If you’re looking for a non-alcohol version I’d suggest putting some cream and ice (or vanilla ice cream and a little milk)  into a blender with some crushed candy canes and a little peppermint extract.  You could also add some sugar cookie mix for that cookie flavor.  Yum!

Hope you enjoy!

Author Lisa Huff

Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons cream (or milk or half & half)
• 4 tablespoons cookie dough flavored vodka (such as Pinnacle)
• 3 tablespoons peppermint schnapps (such as DeKuyper)
• Garnish (optional): simple syrup, candy canes, and crushed candy canes

Instructions

• Place cream, vodka, and schnapps in shaker with ice. Shake with ice about 10 seconds.
• Dip glass rim in simple syrup and crushed candy canes if desired. Put a few crushed candy canes in bottom of glass if you'd like, then strain drink into glass. Garnish drink with candy canes if desired.

Notes

SNAPPY TIPS: I put a few crushed candy canes in the bottom of the glass so the bottom of the drink was a pink color. You can also stir the drink with the candy canes to turn the whole drink a light pink color.

SNAPPY SUBSTITUTIONS: Instead of cream, substitute milk, half & half, or even melted vanilla ice cream. 

Course: Cocktail

Cuisine: American

Keywords: Christmas drink, peppermint cocktail
