Ingredients
- 20 peppermint disks
- 1 bottle unflavored vodka (750ml)
Instructions
- Prepare Peppermints: Unwrap your peppermint disks and divide them equally, placing 10 into each of two mason jars.
- Add Vodka: Evenly pour the unflavored vodka between the two jars, ensuring each has 375 ml.
- Shake Jars: Seal each jar tightly with its lid, then gently shake, turning the jar upside down to help begin dissolving the peppermint disks.
- Refrigerate: Place the jars in the refrigerator for 5 days or until the peppermint disks are completely dissolved into the vodka.
- Mix Layers: A white layer may form at the bottom of the jars; to fix this, turn the jars upside down for about an hour, then shake them well to fully combine the liquid.
- Serve: Pour the peppermint-infused vodka into shot glasses and enjoy your festive Candy Cane Shots!
Notes
- Use unflavored vodka for the best neutral spirit base to highlight the peppermint flavor.
- Make sure the jars are tightly sealed to avoid any spillage or contamination during infusion.
- Allow the full 5 days for the peppermints to completely dissolve and infuse the vodka for maximum flavor.
- After infusion, you can strain the mixture if any undissolved peppermint pieces remain to ensure a smooth shot.
- Store any leftovers refrigerated and consume within a few weeks for best taste and quality.
- This recipe is perfect for holiday parties and can be made ahead of time for convenience.
