Notes
- To easily crush your candy canes without making a huge mess, put them in a Ziploc bag and use a mallet or rolling pin to smash them.
- Swap in white crème de menthe or white crème de cacao for the peppermint schnapps for a creamier, dessert-style drink.
- Add a splash of heavy cream or simple syrup for a sweeter, silkier texture.
- Double (or triple!) the recipe in a pitcher for easy serving at holiday parties.
- Chill your glass in the freezer for 15 minutes to keep drinks icy cold.
- Try peppermint vodka or homemade candy cane syrup for an extra pepperminty kick.
