What is in a Candy Cane Russian?
Well, you basically start out with a version of a White Russian, another holiday cocktail with Kahlua, and zing it up a bit!
Ingredients:
- Good quality Vodka
- Kahlua or coffee liqueur
- Peppermint Schnapps
- Half and half
You can use low-fat half and half or even evaporated milk. But don’t use condensed milk! It is too thick and will make the cocktail cloyingly sweet.
If you want to make your new white Russian cocktail even more festive, add some peppermint extract to it for an added kick.
How to Make a Candy Cane Russian Cocktail
It is a very easy recipe to make for one or even create a batch for a crowd.
Combine the spirits in a glass and stir. Then add the half and half and stir to combine. Pour over large ice cubes into an old-fashioned or rocks glass.
Serve with a small peppermint stick for garnish.
Large Batch Version
For a pitcher of drinks to serve 8.
Add one cup each vodka and Kahlua to a pitcher. Pour in a half cup of Peppermint Schnapps and one cup of half and half. Stir well. Refrigerate until ready to serve. If it separates, then stir again before serving.
Place ice in 8 double old-fashioned or rocks glasses and pour the drink mixture over the ice.
Garnish with a cute candy cane.
What to Serve with Your Candy Cane New White Russian Cocktail
Here are some great complimentary snacks to serve with your new cocktail!
- Popcorn balls. Make popcorn balls with your favorite recipe. When mixing, add in peppermint pieces and shape them into balls. Then drizzle with melted chocolate. Dark chocolate is a great addition to peppermint.
- Homemade Gingerbread Cookies. These are always the best, but if you are short on time feel free to purchase these.
- Make a dessert board. Add chopped fruits, berries, small cookies, and chocolates. A little something for everyone.
- Fruit Cake. Not many people like fruit cake. If you are one of them and have been given one as a hostess gift, now is the time to get rid of it. The cocktail is so good people won’t mind the cake.
