Candy Cane Martini

‘Tis the season to try awesome new cocktails! We’ve got a bit over a week before Christmas, but you know you can rock and tasty holiday bev into the new year, so I’m sharing one of my favorites, the Candy Cane Martini.

In true martini fashion, this cocktail is straight liquor, no mixers. Tread lightly, because your breath will be minty fresh, but your world will be rocked if you go too hard.
