Mixed Drink:Peppermint White Russian

If you know anything about me, it's that I love everything mint flavored.  You'll also know that I love Bailey's Irish Cream.  So, this drink is perfection. 

2 oz Peppermint Schnapps 

2 oz Bailey's Irish Cream 

1 oz Half and Half 

Add all of the ingredients to a shaker with ice and then strain into a glass. 

You can garnish with peppermint candies, but I had a hard time getting them to stick.  So really I just wasted a few candies. 

I put the drink into a small 2 oz glass because I think the glass is super cute, but the recipe makes about a 5 oz drink. 

Enjoy!

P.S. If you have any tips about getting the candy to stick let me know! 

Mixed Drink: Thin Mint Martini

If you enjoy Thin Mint Cookies that the girl scouts sell every year, then you'll love this drink.  I expected the drink to be a little strong, but it tastes nothing like alcohol.  (To me.)  It's the perfect amount of mint and chocolate. 

Ingredients: 

1 Tbs Chocolate Syrup 

1 oz Peppermint Schnapps 

2 oz Chocolate Liqueur 

2 oz Half and half

Directions:

Dirzzle Chocolate Syrup into a martini glass and then put it into the freezer so the chocolate can set.

Then put the rest of the ingredients into a shaker with some ice and shake.

Then strain in to the glasses.

Enjoy!

I didn't have chocolate syrup, but I did have hot fudge, which works just as well.  It was a little hard to drizzle properly, but the drizzle still turned out okay.   I never knew how hard it actually was to drizzle chocolate properly in circles.
