Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 20 peppermint disks
  • 1 bottle unflavored vodka (750ml)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Peppermints: Unwrap all 20 peppermint disks and divide them equally by placing 10 peppermint disks into each of two mason jars.
  2. Add Vodka: Evenly pour the 750ml bottle of unflavored vodka into both mason jars, distributing the liquid equally.
  3. Seal and Shake: Tightly secure the lid on each jar and give each jar a gentle shake, including turning the jar upside down to mix thoroughly.
  4. Infuse: Place the jars in the refrigerator for 5 days or until the peppermint disks have completely dissolved into the vodka.
  5. Mix the Sediment: After 5 days, a white layer will form at the bottom. Turn the jars upside down and let them sit this way for about an hour, then shake them well to mix.
  6. Serve: Pour the peppermint-infused vodka into shot glasses and enjoy your Candy Cane Shots!

Notes

  • Use unflavored vodka for the best peppermint flavor to come through.
  • If peppermint disks do not fully dissolve after 5 days, allow more time in the refrigerator.
  • Store the final product in the refrigerator and consume within a week for optimal freshness.
  • Be cautious with alcohol consumption and enjoy responsibly.
