Just the right amount of creme de menthe makes this Candy Cane Martini a holiday favorite. It’s become a Christmas Eve tradition in our house. Cheers to the holidays!

Mix the red, green, and white sugar on a small plate.

On a separate small place, place a few tablespoons of water.

Carefully roll the rim in the sugars until all of the rim is coated.

Tips on Candy Cane Martinis

• You can use green creme de menthe here if you can’t find white/clear creme de menthe. The taste is the same. Your cocktail will just be light green instead of white.
• While I recommend a high milk fat, whatever milk you have on hand will work. Your cocktail won’t be as creamy, but it will still be tasty.
